Yes, but you omitted it from your initial mail, which didn't make it 
easier to find. ;)

Yes, the culprit is that the ffmpeg frontend and the optimized shared 
libraries are build with different configuration flags, which is quite 
reasonable and obvious in this case.

The warning is only printed if the configurations differ. It does not 
tell anything different, nor does it try to guess or suggest what may 
be the cause of this. so again, I agree with siretart that on systems 
that support differently configured shared libraries to work with the 
same backend, this warning should be disabled, because it is a red 
herring and does not add anything insightful.
