For pxa270 CPUs mplayer will enable iwmmxt extensions and do 
PACKAGE_ARCH = "iwmmxt", while other packages in the same build retain 
their default PACKAGE_ARCH (armv5te). So the sdl-config script wouldn't 
be in staging/iwmmxt-foo-linux, but in staging/armv5te-foo-linux. Since 
STAGING_BINDIR_CROSS is composed using PACKAGE_ARCH we need to point it 
'manually' to the armv5te one.
