I sort of see what you are saying:
~ % ldd `which mplayer`
/usr/local/bin/mplayer:
        libpng.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.5 (0x2828e000)
        libz.so.2 => /lib/libz.so.2 (0x282b0000)
        libfreetype.so.9 => /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9 (0x282bd000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x28320000)
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x2835c000)
        libXv.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXv.so.1 (0x283c9000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x283ce000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x283dd000)
        libpthread.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1 (0x284a5000)
        libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x284c8000)
        libintl.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 (0x285b7000)
        libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 (0x285bf000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x285d7000)
        libc_r.so.5 => /usr/lib/libc_r.so.5 (0x286a2000)

I see somehow it got linked against BOTH libpthread and libc_r,
there has to be a way to prevent that sort of bogus linkage
from happening. :(  Or at least make it work right when it
does happen...
