[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] configure: fix symbol prefix detection

[Marvin Scholz]

The symbol prefix check would incorrectly detect a bogus prefix in circumstances where sanitizers
instrument the build, like when configuring with the clang-asan toolchain where it would detect the
prefix as __odr_asan_gen_, which is obviously wrong.

To fix this, adjust the prefix detection to only detect a one-character prefix, which is the only case
that matters anywhere right now.
