-libjasper has recently changed `jas_matrix_get` from a macro to an inline function
-(389951d071 in https://github.com/jasper-software/jasper), causing the build to fail.

- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714923
-
-opencv uses functions from <ext/atomicity.h>, but it wrongly assumes
-this functions apply to an int type. While it is true for some
-architectures, some architectures are using a long type there. The
-correct type to use is _Atomic_word.
