I tested with the latest git of x264 and indeed cli_input is not a required
symbol any more.
So this has been fixed in the later versions of x264. I see reason to
upgrade.

But why are you puzzled? I can see the fix in the makefile. A better
response is 'this has been fixed'.

It worries me that you have no appreciation of this. I sense that I have no
reason to be here.

goodbye and thank you for your time.
