I understand your point.
What you're telling here is that ffmpeg is relying on other libs to be
iso c99. This is a very unrealistic approach as most of the libs are
not iso c99 compliant.
To put it simply, the ffmpeg build system is at fault because it imposes
the std=c99 to headers that were never thought to be compiled like that.
Why fix external headers ? Isn't the responsability of the includer to
use the headers correctly ?

Yes. VLC devs will decide which project to patch in their contrib building
process.
My work is now over, i won't run after fixes on a third project in a row.
Thanks.
