x264 works with your suggestions, x265 which are ordinary Fedora 36 
packages has the same issue
luckily i don't care much about x265 and so disbaled it

before ffmpeg 5.1 both worked for years - period

-------------------------

- update to 6.0.0
- work around 'ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config' with 
'--disable-libx265' for now
- add '/rpmbuild/BUILD/ffmpeg-snapshot/x264-static' to PKG_CONFIG_PATH
- add --pkg-config-flags="--static" to configure-flags

-------------------------
