Does it work at all for you without --enable-pic?
Can you do a performance test?

But there is the output of ./configure --disable-all

--disable-everything is - no matter its name - a 
debug option for developers to speed up compilation, 
--disable-all disables all features that can be 
disabled except default library features. configure 
output will tell you more.

One more reason to use --enable-all instead of a 
very complicated configure line.

This is not how I read your current configure line...

You already disable all possible options in your current 
configure line afaict.

That is what I meant above:
You don't need the options because they don't 
disable anything.
If --disable-vda would do anything useful, you 
would not want to use it (I guess).

I suggest you remove  --disable-armv6 from your 
configure line.
(And benchmark h264 if you want.)
