What was the exact patch you have applied? From our last observations,
compiling --with-system-libvpx could be a workaround when you backport
libvpx. This failed till now. Have you already tried libvpx_1.4.0-4.dsc?

Also afair GCC needs to be patched:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50380

So the next steps would be to try to build latest libvpx to check if gcc
patches are still required. If they are required, we need to apply them
and rebuild the whole stuff.
