[Description Frank Krömmelbein 2022-06-01 17:45:46 UTC]

Update from media-video/ffmpeg-4.4.1-r5 to 4.4.2 fails for me on this old system:

libavcodec/x86/vp9itxfm.o: in function `ff_vp9_idct_idct_32x32_add_avx.loop2_full':

Huh.

For the 32-bit build, you have --disable-avx2 (but NOT --disable-avx).
For the 64-bit build, you have --disable-avx (but NOT --disable-avx2).

I think AVX can work on 32-bit, but it's possible that ffmpeg's assembly doesn't care about that case.

Hi,
thank you very much for your analysis!
That probably also explains why I only have this error on this one old system.
It looks like a regression then.
Do you think I should open a ticket for this at upstream?

I tried to compile it again today, and it worked!

-> Fixed.
