Is it wrong in this case? If you want -pthread instead of -lpthread
then x264's pc file can be corrected.

I think this "x264 is wrong, we will always come up with better flags
than they do" attitude is petulant, instead we should cooperate with
other projects.

In any case, the original point still stands; right now it doesn't
build (no -pthreads or -lpthreads), if you had applied my patch to use
pkg-config then it would never have broken. If they come up with yet
another dependency FFmpeg's build will break again, unless we switch
to pkg-config.
