Allow me a third try:
You cannot report "FFmpeg's configure requires me to 
install gas-preprocessor for arm on OSX when using 
clang but I don't need it" because it is needed.

You can either install gas-preprocessor and use 
--disable-fft for the time being, compilation of the 
arm fft code currently fails with clang on osx, see 
ticket #5164.
Or you can use gcc for compilation (it does not need 
gas-preprocessor) as I believe you have already done.
Third possibility is to use clang but gcc for the 
asm, just add --as=..../bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc 
to your configure script (no gas-preprocessor needed).

Instead of the (unsupproted) extra-cflags you are 
using, please pass --cpu=cortex-a8 to configure. 
If you believe this has any disadvantage please tell 
us so we can fix it.
