Sorry, I misunderstood that part of your question. If libavutils
contains LGPL'ed code only, then there's no technical reason to
automatically convert the license of libavutils to GPL, just because
--enable-gpl was given on the comand-line. However, the libav 'LICENSE'
clearly states that it's still the case anyway, but for non-technical
reasons.

Regards,
Andreas
