I have been conversing with Stuart. GCC4 is not available on arm, where it also fails, so gcc4 is a non-solution. It seems we need to hack binutils (and the kernel?) to: * fix arm / ppc with GCC3 * we could add SSE3 support for x86/64 * don't know about PPC. Which instruction set do we not support there? I would not know where to start with these tasks, so I hope we can find someone with the know-how. As a temproary fix, we might get by by using --arch=generic on problem arches(?), as they do here on an arm system: https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/roundup/ffmpeg/issue950 But I don't know how slow that will be. Thanks to Stuart for researching the arm build failure. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett (Freelance software developer / technical writer / open-source developer) http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
