This shows me that your changes of the libx264 build process did not
change the SONAME as intended. The SONAME of libx264-mv.so.152 is still
"libx264.so.152", so something went wrong there. libx264 is not part of
ffmpeg, so that doesn't really belong here. I tried your change to
libx264's configure (editing the definition of SONAME to include
"-mv"), and I got the proper shared library:

$ objdump -p libx264-mv.so.157 | grep SONAME
  SONAME               libx264-mv.so.157

You should check this immediately after compilation of
libx264-mv.so.XYZ, and then check whether you perhaps copied the wrong
version of libx264 to your target directory.

ffmpeg will do the right thing, once libx264.so points to the correctly
compiled libx264-mv.so.XYZ.
