Your configure parameter "--with-sysroot=" is misunderstanted/misemployed here. Have you read https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/ before?

Simply launch:
./configure --enable-debug --with-contrib

If you want to use your contrib libs. But sooner, your configure script will issue the error I've already reported here about malformed pkgconfig libavcodec.pc file.
This issue has not been already fixed by libav developers. One has to contact libav developers via their mailing list.

Best,
Gilles
