-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Building ffmpeg 5.1.1 results in a PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig/libavutil.pc file
 that contains -lX11.

 macOS users are very unlikely to use X11 and as far as I know, ffmpeg for
 macOS does not use it either.

 This results in builds that use pkgconf/pkg-config trying to link libX11
 and failing.
