Again, try to reconfigure on another server ffmpeg, here I got another error.
/usr/local/lib/libbz2.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libbz2.a(bzlib.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text’ can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

After a little search I find out that on that server bzip was installed from sources not from package.
Only solution that work was to recompile bzip.
So i go into bzip directory, edit Makefile
and the line
CC=gcc
I modify it into
CC=gcc -fPIC
save the file
make clean
make
make install
And after that the ffmpeg was good to go.
