The reason is that x264 uses a lot of hand written assembler, and
upstream takes care to use non-pic code only on architectures that
support this.
Btw, the same applies to the libav* packages.
Is there any benchmark available (for either package) that compares
the performance of the library using the hand written assambler code
with one using generic code?
