You did note that it was not the "orthodox ffmpeg purists" that started
flinging around terms like "hate" and similar when they were told that a
patch was rejected, didn't you?

How come that you will immediately get written of as "orthodox purist"
when you insist that a workaround has to be made in a general way, not
as a library-specific hack?  As a "gcc lover" when the problem has
nothing to do with gcc?  As a "Linux-only type" when the problem has
nothing to do with operating systems at all?  As "opposing portability"
when you insist on general (and thus really portable!) solutions instead
of system-specific bandaids?

Portable programming is not accumulating special cases for every
imaginable combination of CPU architecture, operating system and
development environment.
