This was exactly the case of the gst-ffmpeg package, for which I've
sent a fix. Everything was built for Sparc, but two libraries were
built for a slightly different version of Sparc, which was actually
incorrect.

Since for now, autobuilders issue caused by this seems to have all been
handled, I don't think there's much need to find a different solution.
Let's give it some more time and see if we need to change our mind.

Best regards,

Thomas
