Not reproducible with vanilla gcc 4.9.1 and gcc 4.4.6 so the patch is
not ok as-is afaict.

The tested (32bit) configure line here was:
 --enable-gpl --toolchain=hardened --disable-stripping --enable-shared

> A build log of a failed build with gcc 4.9 is available at:
> https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ffmpeg&arch=i386&ver=7%3A3.2-2~bpo8%2B1&stamp=1478791165

Please consider to remove the following options from the configure line,
they do lead to more user questions and make support more difficult:
--disable-libtesseract
--disable-libebur128
--enable-sdl2

Is --disable-stripping really useful? Doesn't it only add symbols to
yasm-generated
files that cannot be read by gdb?
(Sorry if I misremember)
