I don't yet understand the configuration script well enough to know how to fix that properly, so I did it manually.

Of course it should be able, if MSVC compiled the code. The missing local variables are probably because of the optimisation that has to be done for dead code elimination, as explained earlier. (I've already spent some time on an earlier libav version to enable building with -O0, in order to be able to step through the code without optimisation-related surprises. It's possible, but it can take a while.)
