14.0 does not make sense, the buildroot versions are <year>.<month>.<release>,
did you mean 2014.02, 2014.05, 2014.8 or 2014.11?

Please take a look at the build/gst1-plugins-bad-<version>/config.log, is webrtc enabled
e.g.:

configure:91279: *** checking feature: WebRTC ***
configure:91283: *** for plug-ins: webrtc ***
configure:91327: checking for NICE
configure:91335: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "nice >= 0.1.14"
configure:91338: $? = 0
configure:91353: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "nice >= 0.1.14"
configure:91356: $? = 0
configure:91396: result: yes
configure:91412: *** These plugins will be built: webrtc

Nothing new, gstreamer is unable to find an element named webrtcbin,
make sure the plugin libgstwebrtc.so is build and installed (at the right
location and with the right dependencies) at the target...
