 > Nope, nor anywhere under /usr/include

 So you could try to build the file after putting

 {{{
 #define static_assert _Static_assert
 }}}

 before including vlc_fixup.h

 Only if it checks, and I don't think that's the case (the check is being
 done by the compiler, after configure has been run!)

 which leads me to wonder whether what we're seeing is actually a static
 assertion failure which happens to be silent.  I'll kludge up a test prog
 to show us the values being checked, and get back to you.

 Yes, that's why I asked you to check the actual assertions in my first
 message.

 I kind of expect those assertions to fail only on 32bit hardware (or when
 compiling in 32bit mode).

 Paid with copious free time, since long ago? Sounds like it could be worse
 ;)
