I don't think that's a good idea to do without an OS. you do need to
have some layer of abstraction to use your hardware, or your brain
will explode. :-)

If I'm not mistaken, FFmpeg is not modular enough _for the moment_ to
allow the separate compilation of _only_ the h264 decoder. What you
want is to port "libavcodec" and possibly all the ASM that makes it
fast, but it will still feature MPEG4 ASP, MPEG2, MPEG1.

Best regards,

Guillaume
