I setup a VM running SuSE,  built mythtv (which I’ve done before, successfully) and got the exact same ffmpeg building errors. Ive not spelunked but I suspect that the git implimentation has ffmpeg as a sub project
that it has changed and that we are getting different trees depending on geolocation.

I’ll get my SuSE platform to work then get endeverOS to do likewise

But the whole process involving the right rune is troubling
