Okay, this problem has nothing to do with your includes or libs.  It
looked similar to problems I had getting MPlayer working on ALPHA
hardware.

If you edit the file "libavcodec/jfdctfst.c", you'll see on line 116 and
elsewhere, it initalizes variables with "int_fast16_t".  Since your
processor doesn't have any such function, the variables aren't
initalized, and can't be used.

I don't know what would be the equivalent initilization function on
SPARC, but if you just change all "int_fast16_t" references to "int", it
should compile and run, although it might be slower than it needs to be.

If anyone here codes on SPARC, feel free to chime in.
