Hi, I don't think this change makes sense as is. x264 built with 10 bit support does not accept raw 8 bit video and vice versa (and has to be configured differently), and x264 build with 10 bit support does only support different h264 profiles than the 8 bit version. And these 10 bit profiles are usually not supported by hardware decoders. Software currently uses the #defines in x264_config.h to get the capabilities of the library at build time. If suddenly the library gets replaced by one with different build parameters, software will stop working correctly because of that. Ideally x264 would allow using different bit depths in the same build, or at least a different soname should be used for the resulting library.
