           Summary: [PATCH] Gstreamer fails to export some symbols when
                    built under et_EE locale
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

When linking gstcheck library, the list of symbols are checked against regexp
containing A-Z and a-z character ranges. This fails under et_EE locale because
Z in Estonian alphabet is located after S and therefore characters starting
with TUV... are not in the range anymore.

Here's a diff between symbol dumps from libgstcheck library, one is built under
C locale, another under et_EE. Please not that I have omitted symbol addresses.

The first character in the list describes symbol type - uppercase characters
means it is exported, lowercase means it is not exported:
