Feel free to attempt this, but when I raised the topic on IRC, it came
to end quickly and I don't expect this to go differently on the ml:

[11:42:09] <DonDiego> what are the chances of libavutil/x86_cpu.h becoming an installed header?
[11:42:17] * DonDiego guesses 0
[12:13:55] * mru wonders what diego wants with that header
[12:18:42] * kshishkov suspects it may be for MPlayer
[12:19:07] * kshishkov also suspect that if it is so, that means MPlayer is broken
[12:19:14] <thresh> mplayer is notorious for using uninstalled headers
[12:19:24] <mru> that header can never be installed
[12:19:31] <mru> it uses compiler-specific tests
