I'm not sure what changed, but for me on debian sid (amd64) all our unit tests
suddenly blow up with:

 tpm at zingle:~/gst/git/gstreamer/tests/check$ make gst/gst.check
 Running suite(s): Gst
 check_msg.c:76: No messaging setup [6x]
 0%: Checks: 6, Failures: 0, Errors: 6
 (null):-1:S:gst tests:test_init:0: (after this point) Early exit with return
value 2 [repeated for other tests]

The culprit seems to be the -export-symbols-regex that ends up in my
libs/gst/check/Makefile:

GST_CHECK_LIB_LDFLAGS = -Wl,--export-dynamic -export-symbols-regex
\^\(_*\(gst_\|Gst\|GST_\).*\|check_\(debug\|mutex\|cond\)\|buffers\|mutex\|start_cond\|sync_cond\|thread_list\)$

If I change this to just

GST_CHECK_LIB_LDFLAGS = -Wl,--export-dynamic

it all works fine again. (This is with check-0.9.6 btw, but the check package
hasn't changed in months.)

Not quite sure what the proper fix is, but marking as blocker for now.
