Just in case you forgot: On this mailing list, only current
FFmpeg git head is supported.

May I ask why?
(One of the options you use make it difficult to guess.)

As said, the easiest way is to use musl (and as said,
only x86_64 is supported, developers do not want to
document that x86_32 is incompatible).

The following options have no effect, remove them:
--enable-asm --enable-x86asm --enable-avfilter
--enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/
--enable-stripping

--enable-version3 has no effect in above configure line.
(Is is needed for amr encoding, libsmb, libvmaf - which
doesn't work afair - and a few unusual things.)

--enable-nonfree has an effect but I suspect you don't
want it, please remove it.

In addition to what Moritz suggested, I believe you want
something like --extra-cflags=-static to convince your
linker to use the static libraries once you installed them.
