I think this is a bug in x265. It shouldn't be prefixing an absolute path with '-l'.

Most other software either is not C++, and thus does not
need the C++ runtime, or "work around" it by adding the C++
runtime explicitly to the returned CFLAGS, even though it
is technically wrong to do so.

I suppose it is a judgement call Steve has made?
