It's the "order of static libraries matters" issue.

Currently it does:
gcc -o tmp.exe tmp.o -lpthreadGC2 -lx264

While it should instead do:
gcc -o tmp.exe tmp.o -lx264 -lpthreadGC2

Or even better:
gcc -o tmp.exe tmp.o -lpthreadGC2 -lx264 -lpthreadGC2
                      ^^ FFmpeg ^^        ^^  x264  ^^

It only matters on check_func() though, and not check_func2().
