Thanks....but.  Now ti compiles and starts to run on my BF527 EZkit  
board.  I get the normal startup message and I get info on the  
streams.  Before any frames get converted I get an "illegal  
instruction" and a core dump.
Any suggestions about this?  Given the above error it looks like no  
one has actually tested the blackfin specific code.  I had been  
running a much older version of ffmpeg from blackfin.uclinux.com that   
does run.
But this new one doesn't.  I have tried both with and without swscale  
with the same results.

Thanks,
