you can just rebuild these packages with a newer x264 version which
has many improvements anyways. If ldd does not show anything x264
related, it means your mencoder is built against your static older
version of x264. Also, codecsdir is only used for specifying the path
to Windows DLLs which can be used with mplayer/mencoder.
--disable-x264-lavc will disable H.264 decoder support in
mencoder/mplayer (libavcodec) so you don't want that too

I don't quite understand what you're doing here. You built the new
x264 as shared library, installed it in /usr/local and then linked the
libs of the older x264 to /usr/local, yes?
