imho it is *too* complicated. For cross compilation for Windows CE, i use 
the following script:

#! /bin/sh

export MINGW32CE_PATH=$HOME/local/opt/mingw32ce
export WINCE_PATH=$HOME/local/wince

export PATH=$CEGCC_PATH/bin:$MINGW32CE_PATH/bin:$PATH
export CPPFLAGS="-I$WINCE_PATH/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$WINCE_PATH/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$WINCE_PATH/bin"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$WINCE_PATH/lib/pkgconfig"

I save it in a file named mingw32ce.sh. To use it, in a terminal i launch 
it, only once, with:

source /path/to/mingw32ce.sh

MINGW32CE_PATH is where the cross compilation tool chain is located.
WINCE_PATH is where i install the cross compiled libraries/programs.

Then I update some necessary variables with the 2 variables above. PATH, 
of course, plus other compilation env var. I think that you should also 
add CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS for optimizations (like in your script).

to configure a library:

./configure --host=arm-mingw32ce --prefix=$WINCE_PATH


I don't put the launch of ./configure in script, like your script, for 
some reasons. I would suggest that you also don't put it in your script.

For the compilation of gstreamer, compile and install for your target:

1) dependencies of glib-2.0 (ask in the glib related mailing lists for 
that)
2) glib-2.0
3) gstreamer without libxml2

if you succeed, you can try gst-plugins-base.
