 This issue is reported upstream at

+To create import libraries that work with the @code{/OPT:REF} option
+(which is enabled by default in Release mode), follow these steps:
+
+ at enumerate
+
+ at item Open @file{Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt}.
+
+Alternatively, in a normal command line prompt, call @file{vcvars32.bat}
+which sets up the environment variables for the Visual C++ tools
+(the standard location for this file is
+ at file{C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat}).
+
+ at item Enter the @file{bin} directory where the created LIB and DLL files
+are stored.
+
+ at item Generate new import libraries with @file{lib.exe}:
+
+ at example
+lib /machine:i386 /def:..\lib\avcodec-53.def  /out:avcodec.lib
+lib /machine:i386 /def:..\lib\avdevice-53.def /out:avdevice.lib
+lib /machine:i386 /def:..\lib\avfilter-2.def  /out:avfilter.lib
+lib /machine:i386 /def:..\lib\avformat-53.def /out:avformat.lib
