I am compiling Gstreamer (git 1.7 head) on a clean Debian 8 (Docker container). Note: compiling 1.6 results in the same error.

The container has the following description:

FROM debian:8
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential
CMD ["bash"]


I am executing the following commands in the shell:
apt-get update
apt-get install git
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer
cd gstreamer/
apt-get install autoconf
apt-get install pkg-config
apt-get install autopoint
apt-get install libtool
apt-get install bison
apt-get install flex
apt-get install gtk-doc-tools
apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
apt-get install libqtglib-2.0-0
./autogen.sh 
make
make install
cd ..
git clone http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base/
cd gst-plugins-base/
./autogen.sh 
make

Where it goes bad:
...
