These are different libraries. You have to go read the code, maybe get
a stack trace from SELinux to continue this work. It's unlikely the
GStreamer community will consider doing this.

gst-plugins-scan is irrelevant, it's likely the library used by a
plugin being scanned that caused this error. Executable are
meaningless.
