Hi,

That's impossible to say without looking at libjpeg's config.log.
That being said, you won't be able to build VLC for win64 without a patched toolchain (the fix should be part of GCC 8). You can use our docker images (registry.videolan.org:5000/vlc-debian-win64), or rebuild the toolchain yourself while including https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=f47fc7ef7f52cd095e636d4f93cca052427f3f0a
