The first problem in this function is triggered by removing any of the commented out lines. Instead of commenting out the whole line, removing the "R" and "Q" also makes the compiler errors go away, but I have my doubts that either offers the same semantic as the original.

static av_always_inline av_const int32_t av_clipl_int32_arm(int64_t a)
{
    int x, y;
    __asm__ (//"adds   %1, %R2, %Q2, lsr #31  \n\t"
             "itet   ne                     \n\t"
             "mvnne  %1, #1<<31             \n\t"
             //"moveq  %0, %Q2                \n\t"
             //"eorne  %0, %1,  %R2, asr #31  \n\t"
             : "=r"(x), "=&r"(y) : "r"(a):"cc");
    return x;
}

The second problem doesn't seem to be triggered anymore, not sure why. Maybe a change in ffmpeg since last friday.
