Sorry, I was wrong! I see this in unstable as well, I just didn't find the warning itself in the very verbose output of the library configurations (mis-interpreted this as a normal output).

That "very verbose output" is part of the warning. :-)

It seems the culprit is that the shared library build is configured with additional "--disable-ffmpeg --disable-ffplay" flags, whereas the ffmpeg frontend obviously isn't. These two flags are common to all arch-optimized library builds, so it is quite expected that the frontend and the shared library (that the dynamic linker chose to link against) differ in their configuration. It is, however, IMHO pointless to explicitely point this fact out whenever the frontend is run, so I agree with Reinhard that this "feature" should be disabled on systems which allow for combinations of regular frontend and optimized shared libraries.

Hmm. Did you confirm this was the problem by changing the config flags?

If so, perhaps point out to the ffmpeg people that their warning is (at least in some cases) a red herring (alternatively, produces a false positive), and ask if it could be made more intelligent.

I am sorry I did not have an unstable installation handy, as then I could have provided a better bug report. Maybe I'll do a virtualbox unstable installation, or make an unstable chroot or upgrade one of my vserver installations.
