This will allow arch-specific ways of determining the target

The def files are used for generating import libraries for
other toolchains (in particular, for generating import libraries
for MSVC for DLLs built with mingw).
The def files produced by mingw/gcc contains ordinals for each
exported function. When MSVC tools generate import libraries
from such a def file, MSVC links to the DLL by the ordinals
instead of linking by name.
Since the def files aren't maintained by hand, the ordinal
numbers are assigned (more or less) randomly and any caller
linking to the libs by ordinals will break as soon as the libraries
export more/fewer functions.
Therefore, strip out the ordinals from the generated def files,
to make users link to the libraries by name.
Callers linking to the DLLs using the gcc provided import library
link by name as they should.

When targeting the metro API subset, this function still exists in
the link libraries, but is excluded from the headers. This makes
sure w32threads is automatically disabled when targeting this API
subset (since not all the necessary functions for it are available).

This simplifies the condition to avoid hardcoding the systems
where the function exists. This also simplifies support for
newer Windows API subsets where this function doesn't exist,
such as Windows Phone 8 and the "metro" API subset of Windows 8.

This makes sure minimal configurations such as
"--disable-everything --enable-avconv" will enable the filters
necessary for running avconv, instead of just keeping avconv
disabled (even if the user specified "--enable-avconv").

GCC does not appear to have a -march= string for Westmere, which is a
bit surprising as it has a few more instructions than a Nehalem, but
a few less than a Sandy Bridge.

A bug in tail call optimisation in gcc 4.3 and later on parisc causes
numerous tests to fail. Disabling this optimisation gives a working

The -mpowerpc64 and -mpowerpc-gfxopt flags are implicitly set by
-mcpu as needed. Passing them explicitly is redundant and can

All modern assemblers have this capability. Older NASM versions
that lack the capability produce code that crashes at runtime,
so it's better to error out during the build process instead.

Some awk versions do not treat the result of unary + on a (numeric)
string as numeric, giving wrong results when used in a boolean context
Using unary - instead is logically equivalent works as expected.

This isn't too useful as a normal codec, but can be used in
voip style applications. The decoder updates the noise
generator parameters when a packet is given to it for decoding,
but if called with an empty packet, it generates more noise
according to the last parameters.

This adds support for building on Plan 9 x86-32. The compat/plan9
directory contains these items:
- replacements for the 'head' and 'printf' shell commands
- wrapper for main() to disable FPU exceptions
Larger required changes to the system are described in the
documentation.

This requires the makedef perl script by Derek, from the
c89-to-c99 repo. That scripts produces a .def file, listing
the symbols to be exported, based on the gcc version scripts
and the built object files.
To properly load non-function symbols from DLL files, the
data symbol declarations need to have the attribute
__declspec(dllimport) when building the calling code. (On mingw,
the linker can fix this up automatically, which is why it has not
been an issue so far. If this attribute is omitted, linking
actually succeeds, but reads from the table will not produce the
desired results at runtime.)
MSVC seems to manage to link DLLs (and run properly) even if
this attribute is present while building the library itself
(which normally isn't recommended) - other object files in the
same library manage to link to the symbol (with a small warning
at link time, like "warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol
_avpriv_mpa_bitrate_tab imported" - it doesn't seem to be possible
to squelch this warning), and the definition of the tables
themselves produce a warning that can be squelched ("warning C4273:
'avpriv_mpa_bitrate_tab' : inconsistent dll linkage, see previous
definition of 'avpriv_mpa_bitrate_tab').
In this setup, mingw isn't able to link object files that refer to
data symbols with __declspec(dllimport) without those symbols
actually being linked via a DLL (linking avcodec.dll ends up with
errors like "undefined reference to `__imp__avpriv_mpa_freq_tab'").
The dllimport declspec isn't needed at all in mingw, so we simply
choose not to declare it for other compilers than MSVC that requires
it. (If ICL support later requires it, the condition can be extended
later to include both of them.)
This also implies that code that is built to link to a certain
library as a DLL can't link to the same library as a static library.
Therefore, we only allow building either static or shared but not
both at the same time. (That is, static libraries as such can be,
and actually are, built - this is used for linking the test tools to
internal symbols in the libraries - but e.g. libavformat built to
link to libavcodec as a DLL cannot link statically to libavcodec.)
Also, linking to DLLs is slightly different from linking to shared
libraries on other platforms. DLLs use a thing called import
libraries, which is basically a stub library allowing the linker
to know which symbols exist in the DLL and what name the DLL will
have at runtime.
In mingw/gcc, the import library is usually named libfoo.dll.a,
which goes next to a static library named libfoo.a. This allows
gcc to pick the dynamic one, if available, from the normal -lfoo
switches, just as it does for libfoo.a vs libfoo.so on Unix. On
MSVC however, you need to literally specify the name of the import
library instead of the static library.

The name mingw32 as target OS is both misleading, and very little
of the target OS specific settings actually match.
Since the target OS default is set based on uname, the default
(which on MSYS is set to mingw) is overridden by --toolchain=msvc.
