It was just a very quick guess, because yesterday I rebased and
saw the test matroska-dovi-write-config7 failing which was fixed
after fate-rsync - that's why I though it might be the same reason
(with make -jX, it's probably not deterministic, which test will
fail first).

Nevermind - things happen..


BTW, I was thinking about submitting a patch for libavutil/tests/md5.c

something like:

#ifdef __GNUC__
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdiscarded-qualifiers"
#endif

#ifdef __clang__
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wdiscarded-qualifiers"
#endif

Would that make sense?
Those warnings are appearing in every single fate error output on patchwork,
possibly covering up more relevant things.
