As said before:
Either this makes sense (in any configuration!), then it should be
added to the appropriate configure options, or it does not make
sense (read: It makes the resulting binary slower but not more
secure compared to the available configure options) then don't
use it.
In any case: These options make your configure line unsupported
here.
(Mostly because it makes the binary slower for no gain, but using
contradicting compiler options also counts.)

Making the configure line less readable by adding default
disable-options also doesn't increase the chance of somebody
finding the issue here.

> ERROR: libx264 not found

Cutting the most important part of the console output also
won't help.
