This output indicates that it is a linker error, not a compiler error;
so the error is not related to headers but to the libavformat / bzip2
libraries you're linking against. (Read
http://david.rothlis.net/c/compilation_model/ if you don't know what
means.)

I'm not familiar with your specific situation (android / NDK) so I'm
only guessing here, but it might be an incompatibility between your
versions of GStreamer / libavformat / bzip2.
