I think we should drop the option to select bit depths as I misunderstood how
the libraries where built (I assumed that they here tacked on) so the options
shouldn't have been introduced at all. In addition to that no one else does it
looking at a few distros like Arch, Alpine, Debian, Gentoo, OpenBSD if they
even bother with multilib at all and I'd imagine that it could potentially
break compatibility with sme users depending on libx265. 8-bit should always be
the default and that's the bit depth devices for sure are to support if they
understand H.265 aka HEVC. 

Are you still on 11.2 or did you upgrade to 11.3? That may fix the issue
looking at the results from my VM.

While your Makefile works it's not very clear what it does, multiple variables
are being overridden which also makes it hard to follow and I'm not sure why
you're building HDR as a separate lib which upstream doesn't seem recommend. I
also not sure if kinda(?) shoehorning stuff into pre-build is a good idea.

Looking at a few other distros:

Alpine: Doesn't build anything other than stock 8-bit
https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/main/x265/APKBUILD

Arch: Uses upstreams multilib script more or less (only builds x86_64)
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/x265

Debian: Seems to build multilib on all arches as far as I can tell, doesn't
include HDR support at all however.

Gentoo: Provides multiple variants including multilib, no HDR however
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/media-libs/x265/x265-3.2.1.ebuild

OpenBSD: Doesn't build anything other than stock 8-bit
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/multimedia/x265/Makefile?rev=1.45&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

NetBSD: Same as OpenBSD
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/multimedia/x265/Makefile?rev=1.28&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Slack: Uses upstreams multilib script more or less (only builds x86_64) no HDR
support however
