Send a real bugreport.

Use of shared-pp is discouraged, AFAIR. Search the archives.

This is pointless. It's enabled by default.

This is pointless, too. It's autodetected on the build host.

The last two are pointless, too. The new internal C-only matroska demuxer
is better and libavcodec is autodetected and enabled automatically.

What do you need these for?

libdvd* are unnecessary. That's what libmpdvdkit is for.

What's that?

Unnecessary.

Huh? What do you need that for?

The above three are unnecessary.

mjpegtools? Definitely not needed.
