This would also be pretty straightforward via the DebianBootstrap
proposal from the wiki: the stage-1 build of x264 would only compile the
library, and omit the front-end.
I believe the current state-of-the-art for bootstrapping new
architectures, or getting a particularly "slow" architecture caught up,
is essentially to do the equivalent of that proposal, but by hand
(dpkg-buildpackage -d, and maybe temporary source changes that are never
uploaded).
dbus and dbus-glib also have cyclic build-dependencies: you can break
the cycle by ignoring the dbus-glib dependency (which means most of the
dbus regression tests aren't compiled), then building dbus-glib, then
rebuilding dbus against it. In the absence of a finalized version of the
bootstrap proposal, this is documented in comments in debian/control.

What's the cycle here? Can it also be broken by temporarily taking out
similar optional functionality - tests or front-ends or something?
