Text relocation in Android gstreamer library: error compilation after API=23

[stic at free.fr]

Text relocation is caused by libav and x264 plugins. If you don't need them and remove it you won't have text relocation anymore, and your library will be allowed again when targeting android-23.
See following bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742633
But you could also keep targeting android-22 so you won't be annoyed by this.

Objet: Text relocation in Android gstreamer library: error compilation after API=23

I have an Android gstreamer library. It was initially compiled with 
version 1.5.1 on API 19 or 21. I had a warning message stating that 
there are some text relocations but there was no problem.

I upgraded to API 23, NDK revsion 10e as well as gstreamer 1.6. If I use

<uses-sdk
     android:minSdkVersion="14"
     android:targetSdkVersion="22" />

in the manifest, everything works fine.

If I use

<uses-sdk
     android:minSdkVersion="14"
     android:targetSdkVersion="23" />

it still compiles but it doesn't work at run-time. The device says that 
it can't find the library though it's in the apk file.

Before the upgrade, I tried to add -fPIC but I was still getting the 
warning. I was unsure if the relocation was in my code or if it was in 
the Android gstreamer binaries.

Since the upgrade to gstreamer 1.6, I don't get any more warning or 
error during compilation. But now it fails at run-time.

I'm wondering if the gstreamer binaries had or have some text 
relocation. I don't think that I'm doing anything special in my 
gstreamer code that would trigger a relocation but I'm unsure.

Here is a couple of link:

Any idea?
