Why are you cross-compiling?
On which system are you testing this?

Because I normally only ever cross compile for windows.

There seems to be a subtle difference in this case, between using clang-cl and "clang -target i686-win32-msvc"; clang-cl passes "-mdisable-fp-elim" to the compiler internals, while "clang -target i686-win32-msvc" doesn't.

And cross compiling does seem to affect this particular case; there's a check for whether ebp is available, which requires running the built executable. When cross compiling, it's assumed the built executable is ok and it isn't test run.

So with clang-cl running on windows, you'll end up with "#define HAVE_EBP_AVAILABLE 0" in config.h, and the x86 cabac code won't end up used at all - i.e. this patch wouldn't make any difference.

With clang-cl in cross compilation, and other invocations of "clang" instead of "clang-cl", targeting i686 windows, you'll end up with ebp_available enabled.

For a case where it does make a difference, in the same setup, try configuring this way instead:

--cc='clang -target i686-win32-msvc' --ld=lld-link --extra-ldflags='msvcrt.lib oldnames.lib' --toolchain=msvc

In this case, the ebp_available test will succeed, it will proceed to trying to build the x86 inline cabac code, which fails.

Any further comments on this patch?
