I've already cross-compiled numbers of packages, some of them using
pkg-config, so it doesn't seem to be as broken as you pretend.

True. --enable-libx264 don't work, weather you're cross-compiling
or not. So using pkg-config won't make cross-compiling more broken...

Huh... IIRC it was already reported numerous times...
Anyway, here it is:

$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libx264
ERROR: libx264 not found
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from SVN.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user at mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.err" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-pthreads

The following is working:
$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --extra-ldflags="-lpthread -lX11"

But the needed libraries would be different depending on the way x264
was built.
