           Summary: libvpx autoconf check is broken.
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.20
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad

The current libvpx autoconf check is broken due to the fact that it is
attempting to link the library without the appropriate POSIX threads library so
it'll fail to link properly.

/usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.1.0: undefined reference to `sem_init'
/usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.1.0: undefined reference to `pthread_join'

The -lm -lpthread flags are missing. I moved the OLD_LIBS / LIBS dance to
outside
of the use of the AG_GST_CHECK_FEATURE() macro and this has resolved the issue
for me but I am not sure if this is the most appropriate means of fixing the
autoconf check.
