I don't see that this is likely to be merged (i.e. backported) into
4.4.2. New features only go into the development branch, which will
then become 4.5 or whatever is next there.

If ffmpeg 4.4.1 compiles againt those libs, so will ffmpeg git master
HEAD.

You can probably just replace
https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-${FFMPEG_VERSION}.tar.bz2
with a link to the snapshot:
https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2

And even apply your patch right after unpacking this.
