I think I figured it out.
The culprit seems to have been "configuration: --disable-x86asm"
During the first attempted installs a notice came up showing there was some kind problem with "yasm" and to go with "-disable-x86asm" to get around it.  My impression is -disable-x86asm means you end up without the necessary libraries or something.

Solution: Install yasm, re-install ffmpeg.

So far that seems to have solved the problem.
DNxHD36 now transcodes to h.264 just fine.

Thanks ffmpeg!
