that worked ... x264 compiled and was linked by vlc
after working thru the other compile options for other libs

I've put the "libarary compile" script at:	
	http://linux-video.net/Video.Players/LIBS-Src.FC5.install.sh

	- the script will stop if the compile failed
	but will try the next libarary on the next invocation

you can see the options i used on the athlon-64 with fedora-c5
along with the version of the library sources in the corresponding
LIBS-Src*.tgz file

if i'm doing things whacky, please let me know and i can run a
few more experiments while all this stuff is still on the disk
connected to fedora-c5

adding the --extra-ldflags=-fPIC didn't help any for vlc linking in x264
