 bash treats "\ "" as a literal space, not a word separator. This means
 that the following # isn't at the beginning of a word, so it's treated as
 a literal # character rather than starting a comment. The end result is an
 argument of "{{{ #--with-ffmpeg}}}". As it's the first argument which
 doesn't begin with a dash, it's treated as the host type.
