That isn't "working", that's a horrible workaround. Not to mention this is a nightmare to script or run in a CI environment.

Again, *I have tried this and it isn't good.* It's very prone to breaking and pretty much impossible to make any meaningful changes. Not to mention it almost never works

It works perfectly fine for me.

Call me crazy but I don't think FFmpeg needs to support somebody's 2003 toaster running a 200 MHz POWER4. Everything else is trivial to keep support for, because *CMake literally runs everywhere.* See https:// cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME.html.

Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean other people also don't.
