I have fixed the code so it builds out of the box now.  It also works
to the extent qemu allows me to test it (qemu sh4 support is buggy).

Could I ask you to run some simple benchmarks with and without the
functions from qpel.c and dsputil_align.c?  I have the feeling those
optimisations are not all that optimal when all comes around.  A
comment in qpel.c talks about *p++ vs. p[n] to access arrays, and most
functions in this file seem to be the plain C functions rewritten to
use *p++ access.  There is, however, very little difference in the
generated code.
