[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] more reliable ebx_available check

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
possibly a compiler bug, but still...
For at least Haiku and OpenBSD, but maybe all target that have PIE
enabled by default ebx is incorrectly detected as available.
This is because compiling with an ebx clobber succeeds, only when
using "b" constraint there is "no register in class BREG" error.
This patch fixes it:
