arm-arago-linux-gnueabi-gcc is unable to create an executable file.
C compiler test failed.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
libav-user@libav.org mailing list or IRC #libav on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
libav-user@libav.org mailing list or IRC #libav on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

> Unknown OS 'linuxeabi'.

This does not look like a gst-ffmpeg/gst-libav issue to me.

Do you also get it if you try to cross-compile a checkout of libav from git?

Do you still have issues with GStreamer 1.0 from git master? using a newer libav)
Comment 4 Julian Hall 2013-01-14 14:50:58 UTC
I'm getting the same issue, and it does appear to be a gst-ffmpeg issue to me. The problem is thst the configure script is generating a parameter to pass to the nested script that reads:
   --target-os= linuxeabi
Unfortunately, that is not a valid value for that parameter; "linuxeabi" is not an operating system, but a combination of os and abi variant. I'm not entirely sure where configure is getting this string from, but it  certainly isn't right. Passing "linux" instead should give correct results.

For reference, I don't know if this applies to the original reporter, but I at least am constrained by a need to use binary-only plugins supplied by my professor manufacturer (freescale in my case) to interoperate with the machine's IPU, and therefore cannot use a more recent version than 0.10.

gcc -dumpmachune gives me:
    arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2014-11-24 13:41:20 UTC
Unfortunately 0.10 is no longer maintained, so I doubt anyone will investigate this further.

Please file a new bug if you still have problems with recent versions of 1.x (I have a vague memory of something like this having been fixed, fwiw).
