Thanks for your  explanations!

I've found this in google search results:
"tr variants:
The tr utility has two historic variants. The BSD version does not use
brackets (tr a-z A-Z), but the SysV one does (tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'). The
GNU version of tr resembles the BSD one, so quoting letter ranges
within brackets is mandatory.
"

That's why after building on SunOs i've got unexpected result: ffmpeg
was built succesfully, but it did not support any codec :).
I've spent a lot of time to find out the cause of problem.

I've found several letters with [PATCH] in the subject line. So think
it will be useful for me in future.
