OK, here's the output. Note that this time it didn't fail, because now
when I build it, the installed library is binary-compatible with the one
in the build tree, because I removed the installed libs and reinstalled
this version, as noted in the original bug report.

But the badness is still there, of course, on line 6985, column 466:

   -L/opt/yobuild/lib -L../../../gst/.libs -lgstreamer-0.10

This will do the Wrong Thing(tm).
