Have you built with the updated yasm and ensured that everything works as intended?

My intent is to test building m-c, m-a, m-b, and release on Win7 x64 and on WinXP x32 before checking any of these in.

I don't know whether Mozilla libyuv is the same with chromium

Some avx2 code is checked into chromium's libyuv@246, which needs yasm 1.2

RyanVM: are you still interested in fixing this? Apparently RelEng installs a Yasm as part of Windows slave setup per bug 798629 comment 5.
