I confirm it fixes the build failures on up-to-date Debian testing. OTOH, I ran a benchmark (decoding some x264): 474134 mod 488751 orig 494359 mod 498554 orig 508958 orig 514246 orig 518160 mod 528427 orig 530223 mod 534762 mod 536415 orig 548434 orig 550789 orig 551716 mod 553951 orig 561754 orig 572688 mod 580254 mod 581205 orig 583856 mod 583939 orig 584748 orig 594143 orig 600681 mod 607596 mod 612757 mod 621033 orig 624567 orig 626346 mod 627309 mod 628242 mod 638344 mod The numbers are the sum of the “user” column of the -benchmark_all output, on an AMD Ryzen 3 3200U and Debaian stable. The mod lines are when I disabled the two faulty functions. They are all over the place, it is hard to be sure, but it seems to indicate that, as you suspected, the benefit is not that big.
