I tried to correct the fact that my laptop's camera is mounted upside-down by installing lib32-lib4vl and starting skype like this:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/opt/lib32/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
which gives me the following error:
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libv4l1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
.
Since this is not one of the error messages mentioned in that thread, I started this new one. I am quite without a clue on how to proceed. Can someone tell me what I could be missing here?
Thanks for any help!

your LD_PRELOAD is wrong and doesn't correspond with what we do in present.
is simple to find out the right location by doing pacman -Ql lib32-v4l-utils
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks for you response. Can you tell me how it is wrong exactly?
and doesn't correspond with what we do in present.
What exactly is deprecated about it?

Except that I'm using lib32-libv4l, not lib32-v4l-utils, because that was suggested in the orginal thread. Anyway, I tried lib32-v4l-utils, but that didn't work either:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Ongeldig argument
'Ongeldig' meaning 'Illegal' in Dutch. The error message appears not right after I start skype, but only after I start the camera test in skype. When I start Cheese this way instead of Skype, I get no message, but my camera image is still upside down :-(
