This doesn't look right because above you specified --host=i686* and
not x86_64, so you probably called it with another params.

There is no such (exact) messages in x264. So next time copy/paste
direct from console and don't make paraphrase of error messages.

Official builds are compiled with lavf input support (lavf: yes)

You compiled it without lavf input support.
