lgpl build impossible under linux

Description

Summary of the bug:
I cannot build a clean LGPL licensed shared object set under linux.
The configure script ignores all my settings and I do not know how to build the wanted shared libraries manually. As soon I am adding the option --enabled-shared the hole build is GPL again!

This makes it impossible for my company to provide closed software under Linux based on FFmpeg.

This would be the changes that a GPL FFmpeg library can stay side by side with my renamed custom build FFmpeg on a linux system:

mv libavcodec.so lgpl_avcodec.so
mv libavcodec.so lgpl_avcodec.so
mv libavdevice.so lgpl_avdevice.so
mv libavfilter.so lgpl_avfilter.so
mv libavformat.so lgpl_avformat.so
mv libavutil.so lgpl_avutil.so
mv libswresample.so lgpl_avresample.so
mv libswscale.so lgpl_swscale.so

patchelf --replace-needed libavformat.so.60 lgpl_avformat.so lgpl_avfilter.so
