Perhaps, but more importantly, what is your liboil version? Be sure to
use latest, which is 0.3.12.

Also, can you confirm you are on a non-Intel 32-bits architecture? And
please provide a list of your versions for: glib, gstreamer,
gst-plugins-base, well, and liboil.

By the way, it wasn't clear to me whether this happens whenever you do
`gst-inspect` or `gst-inspect videotestsrc` if and only if
libgstvideotestsrc.so is in your GST_PLUGIN_PATH. Is that the case?
Does `gst-inspect` work when you remove such shared object? If you are
cross-compiling, how do you build the packages?

Greetings.
