Description
I'm trying to compile ffmpeg from git sources on Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful).
I followed the guide from https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu
It fails linking x264. The results can be seen here https://pastebin.com/MLJTJmXK
I have an open question on https://superuser.com/questions/1312329/compiling-latest-version-of-libx264-for-ffmpeg-fails-on-ubuntu-17-10-artful
I set up a pristine machine via Droplet at Digitalocean. The same error occurs there.

Not a FFmpeg bug. Ubuntu 16.10 and newer have enabled PIE in GCC. You don't need --enable-shared. Try --enable-pic instead.
Please note that this is only a bug tracker, so if you need additional help see the ffmpeg-user mailing list.

Turns out that a hardening measure on gcc caused the problem.
One has to run configure --enable-pic. The CompilationGuide should be changed.

I forget to add that I was successful after I manually ran
configure --enable-shared. I had to installlibx264.somanually as well after that change.
