Excerpts are typically a superbly bad idea because I then have to
guess what the issue is.

I suggest you fix this.

You used icc to compile libx264 and gcc to compile FFmpeg.
This does work in general but in combination with
--extra-cflags=-static you have to take care of the necessary
libraries.

No.
(It is of course possible that your installed nasm (or yasm) was too old
and instead of updating nasm (or yasm) installing current yasm (or nasm)
helped. But this is completely unrelated.)

Then it is probably time to ignore this instructions if you cannot
remove them.
