How about just:

  gst-inspect-0.10

? Does that show anything at all?

If not, perhaps you need to set the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable
or so? (Although it should pick up plugins from the prefix it was
installed in automatically, maybe something went wrong there during
cross-compilation)

  rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*
  GST_DEBUG=GST_REGISTRY*:5,GST_PLUGIN*:5 gst-inspect-0.10

might show you where it's looking for plugins (if you haven't disabled
the debug logging).
