anyways - any distribution packages are configured that way
it don't harm to define even defaults

the goal is a *static build*

maybe, i was lucky to get ffmepg static with static x264 working after
playing around days and weeks

what are you talking about?

i enable them explicitly!
-Wl,-z,now -Wl,-z,relro,-z,noexecstack results in a Full RELRO build
sadly PIE don't work for the static build

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg:
 Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
 Stack protected: yes
 Fortify Source functions: yes (some protected functions found)
 Read-only relocations: yes
 Immediate binding: yes
