On my linux x86_64 system, when trying to statically link the x264
module against libx264, I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libx264.a(cabac-a.o): relocation
R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `x264_cabac_range_lps' can not be used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value

Even though libx264 was compiled as PIC. Dynamically linking against the
shared library, built during the same process, works well.

The x264 folks said that VLC needed to use the -Bsymbolic flag to allow
conversation of a static PIC library into a shared library, so that's
what I did, and it works for me.
