This doesn't have to be hard.

-static int x264_slices_write( ... )
+static void *x264_slices_write( ... )
  {
  ...
+return (void*)ret;
  }

  static int x264_encoder_frame_end( ... )
  {
  ...
-x264_pthread_join( h->thread_handle, NULL );
+void UNUSED *ret;
+x264_pthread_join( h->thread_handle, &ret );
+if( (intptr_t)ret )
+  return (intptr_t)ret;
  ...
  }
