I haven't been able to confirm debug info for libc yet, but I did try removing
qsort.c (and configuring with --disable-generational-gc) from the build and it
now seems to function properly:

address@hidden 268% sudo gst-remote --daemon
address@hidden 269% gst-remote server started.

address@hidden 269% sudo gst-remote --pid
9022
address@hidden 270% ps auxww | grep gst
root       9022  1.0  1.4 813692 14448  ??  Ss    8:03AM   0:00.40
gst-remote --daemon
address@hidden 271% sudo gst-remote --kill
