I wish I could do these things. Unfortunately I'm a
mingw noob and haven't really looked into how the whole
ffmpeg configuration system works at all. So I wouldn't
really know where to start. I'm sorry...  :-(

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention because
HAVE_EBP_AVAILABLE alone already makes quite a
big difference.

FWIW, my current configure line looks like this:

configure --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-pthreads
--extra-cflags='-march=i686 -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse -DPTW32_STATIC_LIB'

After reading Hendrik's comment, I should probably add
"--arch=x86 --cpu=i686". Seems that would take care
of the CLZ and CMOV options. But it doesn't change
HAVE_EBP_AVAILABLE.

Best regards, Mathias.
