First and most important:
Why are you using --enable-pic?
I have heard different opinions, did you do any 
benchmarks? Is there anything that does not work 
without it?
Should it be the default for iOS in your opinion?

These are all default vales, your configure line gets 
easier to read if you remove them.
(But see below for --disable-all, you will have to add 
all --enable options except avutil then.)

I am nearly sure that this does something that you 
do not want.
(The option does not change the binary but the license.)

disable-programs implies the others, you can remove them.

But looking at the rest of you configure line, I suspect 
you actually want to start with --disable-all and enable 
the few features you want.

dxva2, vaapi and vdpau cannot be enabled for iOS, if vda 
would work, I suspect you would want it or not?

You can use --enable-decoder=aac*,ac3,flv,...
Similar for --enable-muxer=mpegts,mp4 and 
--enable-demuxer=aac,ac3,concat,... etc.

Can you explain this?
Why are you disabling some optimizations for the 
arm target? I would have expected that the three 
disable options are not a good idea. What do I 
miss?
(Removing them would also fix your linking issue 
I assume.)

> --disable-symver

Is this needed?
If yes, it may indicate a bug.

I believe the following is much simpler:

--cc='xcrun -sdk iphoneos clang -arch armv7-miphoneos-version-min=5.1.1'
Or does this not work? I usually test without xcrun.
