Thanks Carl, that reduced the linker errors from more than a 100 to about
10.
This is a sample of the 10 or so that remain
clang -o tld tld.o -L"../lib" -lccv -lavformat -lavcodec -lswscale -lavutil
-lz -lm

/usr/local/lib/libavformat.a(matroskadec.o): In function
`matroska_decode_buffer':
/home/srinath/Downloads/ffmpeg-1.1.1/libavformat/matroskadec.c:1138:
undefined reference to `BZ2_bzDecompressInit'

/usr/local/lib/libavformat.a(udp.o): In function `udp_close':
/home/srinath/Downloads/ffmpeg-1.1.1/libavformat/udp.c:824: undefined
reference to `pthread_cancel'

And 8 more similar errors.

nm libavformat.a | grep 'matroska_decode_buffer'
000005e0 t matroska_decode_buffer

nm libavformat.a | grep 'BZ2_bzDecompressInit'
         U BZ2_bzDecompressInit

Infact when i run nm with the -U option it lists a large number of
undefined symbols.
How could i make ffmpeg and compile the /doc/examples succesfully and still
have so many undefined symbols?
Are these dependency packages that would normally be installed by Ubuntu or
other Linux flavors? I don't think so because some of the undefined symbols
are things such as
xwma.o:
         U __divdi3
         U __udivdi3
         U av_add_index_entry
         U av_free
         U av_get_packet
         U av_log
         U av_log_ask_for_sample
         U av_malloc
