Hi,

To anybody reading; the attachedes patch are not for review, they're only 
attached for reference.

I've successfully built and run ffmpeg on WinCE (based on r18980). I've 
got a small bunch of patches that I haven't had time to polish up for 
inclusion yet, but this one that was applied was similar to one of them.

Ismail: If you're on windows mobile 6.1, the issue with running may be 
this: 
http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.html#DllDoesNotWorkWithWindowsMobile6.1


Other than this, there are a few things that I did otherwise than Ismail. 
I'm configuring it with these flags: --target-os=mingw32 
--cross-prefix=arm-mingw32ce- --enable-shared --arch=arm --cpu=armv4t 
--disable-network

The remaining issues (in my case) are the following:
- libavcodec/arm/asm.S has a few elf-specific arm attributes 
  (.eabi_attribute, .type). I solved these by just commenting them out 
  (see one of the attached patches), a proper solution would probably be 
  to check for the binary format in configure and enable them 
  conditionally. But I don't have any real clue about arm assembly... I 
  can give more details or test out solution proposals if somebody's 
  interested in fixing it.
- libavformat/mov.c uses strerror/errno that aren't available on WinCE. 
  (As already mentioned in this thread.) Haven't got any non-hackish patch 
  to propose for this...
- ffmpeg.c needs a whole bunch of ugly hacks, attached here just for 
  reference. signal.h (and the whole concept of signals) are missing, 
  GetProcessTimes is declared but not present in the link libraries, 
  conio.h is available but doesn't contain anything. And perror, strerror, 
  errno and isatty are unavailable.

Additionally, I locally reverted SVN commits 15522 and 15793 since I 
didn't bother to try to manually build a newer mingw32ce.

The mingw32ce toolchain needs a minor change to the headers, to stop it 
from failing when including errno.h.

I've got a few minor additions to the configure script, though, that I can 
send in separate threads.
