This patch adds in somewhat hackish way support for building nasm as part of thirdparty/ tree, combined with earlier openjpeg-2.4.0 patch. It worked without autgen.sh on my machine, but if you use github [0] tarballs ./autogen.sh step is needed. Also, dav1d-0.5.1 patch hardcoded nasm path to /usr/bin/nasm I un-hardcoded it, so it actually can be build with newly-compiled nasm ... seems to work on Ubuntu 16.04.7 amd64 ? At least simple ./configure doesn't fail in dav1d dir ....
