--- Comment #1 from Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) <nicolas at ndufresne.ca> ---
Note that, as a workaround, you can build ffmpeg in yocto instead, then Yocto
will take care of all the linking. It's also likely the way we'll build it in
the future.

In this specific case, the -L is required if the .la is not resolved, otherwise
-lbz2 will not be resolved properly if you are using a non-standard prefix. So
if the .la is resolved on Yocto, removing is is harmless. Now, question is, how
do we fix this libdir path ? I've never been clear what happen if you have gcc
--systroot=/my/root -L /usr/lib ...
