How did you make it not suggest -L/usr/lib for the linker flags?

Using pkg-config throughout, which is what I assumed was suggested,
would break much more than x264.

One or the other of the above two options has always worked whenever I
have built FFmpeg with x264 support.

It is the responsibility of x264 to document its dependencies.
