You wrote that compilation fails for you with an
error, I originally assumed this can be reproduced
with current FFmpeg git head (rereading our mail,
I am not so sure).
If compilation fails, this can be tested in
configure.

This does not sound like an acceptable approach to
me.
If it is really more than unlikely that it breaks
old systems, please explain why. From your
explanation and without further reading, I would
assume that it will break things easily (but I may
absolutely be wrong in which case there is no
argument against the patch).
If the issue is not reproducible with current
FFmpeg, I wonder what should be fixed...
Please do not top-post here, Carl Eugen
