Thanks a lot for your reply. Please see inline.

Well it isn't the gstreamer code per se, but the Glib libgio code that uses
it. Hence the error: "_fstatat", referenced from:
 _g_local_file_measure_size_of_file in GStreamer(libgio-2_0_a_armv7s_
-libgio_2_0_la-glocalfile.o).

But since they are all bundled inside GStreamer.framework the
aforementioned unresolved issue arises.

I think this is most likely it; the SDKs that come bundled with older
XCodes is probably missing it. The problem, however, is that XCode 6 forces
you to have at least OSX Mavericks (i.e. 10.9.x), which might not be an
option for older macs :(

If this is indeed it, do you think you can see if there's a work around it?
There should be a lot of people with Macs running on Mountain Lion :).
Maybe using gnulib portability library and importing those functions to
your framework? I could also assist in that if could get my hands on the
project that builds the GStreamer.framework.

Meanwhile, I can check to see if I can observe the XCode 6 SDK libs and see
if those symbols are indeed found.

Best regards,
Antonis
