Well, if we were sure that the problem is in incorrect compilation in specific versions of nasm, and not in their builds for a specific OS, then we could raise the minimum requirements for the nasm version. But for this, it is still better to make sure that the problem is in the nasm version. It would also be nice to see at least some kind of stack trace to understand where exactly and on which instruction the problem is, maybe incorrect compilation is not in x264 at all, but in ffmpeg.
