One reason that we knew that it wasn't a problem with a corrupt file  
in the source (which definitely could happen--I had to patch a  
property list file that generated a non-functional application for  
wxmaxima-mac at on point) is that this version of libx264* had been in  
the distribution for a while, and initially had built OK.  So nothing  
had changed in it.
