I suspect that doing little more than a git checkout and build, as all the guides I found described, would result in a binary with the functionality I want. I've found the performance of the static builds adequate enough that I haven't bothered trying to build it. I don't know if that'd result in a binary more optimised for the Pi than the static builds referred to above. There's a bunch of blogs posts about getting ffmpeg on Raspbian by compiling it from source. I don't have a Pi 2, but if you do why not try both builds and leave a comment about which one works. If you have one of the first generation Pi you need the armel build.

If you have a Raspberry Pi 3 get the armhf build. Go to click the 'Linux Static Builds' link and so on. If, like me, you want ffmpeg because it has some functionality not available in avconv then you can use static builds. The Raspbian repos have avonv instead of ffmpeg.
