Ok, I'll look at it, it must be some missing dependency.

Remove this: "LIBTOOL += --tag=LIBGST" from libgst/Makefile.am.  
Performance will drop for the shared libgst.so, so make sure that the 
gst executable is linked against the static libgst.a (nm gst should 
yield a lot of "t _gst_something" entries and no "U gst_something" entry.
