I think I understand the problem.  The problem is that several of
the gst header files include 

#include <gnome-xml/parser.h>

This means that the CFLAGS should include 

CFLAGS = $(GNOME_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)  

in the configure.in file.  Otherwise the include file is not found (unless it
is already in a searched directory, e.g. /usr/include , as I suspect yours
is... mine is in /opt/gnome/include)

However some directories redefine CFLAGS
and this causes compile errors in them(e.g. plugins/mpeg2/parse/Makefile.am)
so problems remain in those directories. For those Makefile.am you could change

INCLUDES = $(GLIB_CFLAGS) $(GTK_CFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_srcdir)/include
LDADD = $(GLIB_LIBS) $(GTK_LIBS) $(top_srcdir)/gst/libgst.la

to


INCLUDES = $(GLIB_CFLAGS) $(GTK_CFLAGS) $(GNOME_CFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir)
		-I$(top_srcdir)/include 

LDADD = $(GLIB_LIBS) $(GTK_LIBS) $(GNOME_LIBS) -I$(top_srcdir)
$(top_srcdir)/gst/libgst.la



Another way of solving the problem would be to use the XML_FLAGS and change
#include <gnome-xml/parser.h>

to

#include <parser.h>

plugins/mpeg2/parse/Makefile.am and the like would still need to be changed.

INCLUDES = $(GLIB_CFLAGS) $(GTK_CFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_srcdir)/include
LDADD = $(GLIB_LIBS) $(GTK_LIBS) $(top_srcdir)/gst/libgst.la

to


INCLUDES = $(GLIB_CFLAGS) $(GTK_CFLAGS) $(XML_CFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir)
		-I$(top_srcdir)/include 

LDADD = $(GLIB_LIBS) $(GTK_LIBS) $(XML_LIBS) -I$(top_srcdir)
$(top_srcdir)/gst/libgst.la


Please get back to me on this , because I'm dying to get this up and running.
