Apologies; I missed that you mentioned that in your initial email.
There is no other option since all symbols must be resolved at link
time. As far as I know, there is no workaround for that.

If I were you, I'd just ship the gstreamer libraries with the
application unconditionally. No point doing all this work to save a
few MBs. :)
