I have no idea what AE/UE means.

The ldflags you provided helped on your system (and I don't mean the
path) and for your use-case, I am not convinced they will help everybody
(with similar needs).
(--disable-shared is the default, so using it in your configure line makes
no difference)

If --enable-pic really made a difference, you should ask yourself again
(carefully) if that's really what you want.
(Note that enable-pic is the default on x86-64 and cannot be turned off
afair, it hurts on x86-32 and cannot do what people want because
FFmpeg binaries are not position independent on x86-32, no matter
the pic option.)
