Here is what I get for a shared-lib compile on mingw:

Seems your patch depends on a very recent feature of gcc. What is it 
supposed to do?

The static-only build on mingw and linux works OK. So does a vanilla 
shared lib build on linux (gcc 2.95.4). The sizes for the latter look OK:

la ffmpeg */*.so
-rwxrwx---    1 michel   pkdev       68744 Sep 27 11:39 ffmpeg
-rwxrwx---    1 michel   pkdev     7088262 Sep 27 11:38 
libavcodec/libavcodec.so
-rwxrwx---    1 michel   pkdev     1368270 Sep 27 11:39 
libavformat/libavformat.so
-rwxrwx---    1 michel   pkdev       46296 Sep 27 11:37 
libavutil/libavutil.so

as do the dependencies:

ldd ffmpeg
         libavformat.so => 
/pktbes02/dsk3/people/michel/binl/libavformat.so (0x40014000)
         libavcodec.so => 
/pktbes02/dsk3/people/michel/binl/libavcodec.so (0x4007f000)
         libavutil.so => not found

(This looks wrong but actually fixes itself after installation)

Short version: it all hangs on --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc. A little 
google shows it is strongly recommended for all dll builds using mingw, 
so I suppose we'll want to keep it even if not absolutely necessary. So, 
what is the minimum version of mingw/gcc/msys I need?
