gst-plugins-0.8.5-r1, gst-plugins-oss-0.8.5, gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.5, and gst-plugins-esd-0.8.5 (and maybe others also) do not work if compiled with gcc-3.4.2 hardened or gcc-3.4.3 hardened. Specifically: when compiled with hardened gcc, applications (e.g. nautilus, rhythmbox) hang, and gstreamer utils spew error messages about "GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `foo' has no type." etc; and compiling with vanilla gcc solves all these problems. Suggestion is to filter for hardened in the ebuilds. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. [switch to hardened gcc-3.4] 2.

gst-plugins-mad-0.8.5 also doesn't work with hardened.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. [switch to hardened gcc-3.4] What gcc did you switch from? Why is this a hardened bug and not a gcc-3.4 bug?
gst-plugins*-0.8.5 do not work if compiled with gcc-3.4.2-r3 hardened or gcc-3.4.3 hardened. Howerver, they work correctly if compiled with gcc-3.4.3 vanilla. Thus, I suspect this is a hardened bug (but perhaps one which only affects gcc-3.4).
I ran into this too. It looks like the problem is that a good number of gstreamer modules depend on RTLD_LAZY, which is disabled by hardened gcc. gstreamer modules work great when compiled with hardened gcc and the -nonow flag.
the lazy bindings seem to be the answer. I had the same problem with my non hardened compiles, but I had -Wl,-z,now LDFLAGS. Once I removed the LDFLAGS and recompiled the plugins, it worked again.
When using using hardened specs this should work. use hardened && append-ldflags -nonow Note: -nonow is not really a valid LDLFAG but exists in the hardened specs to work around such cases and should not be used unless your use your gcc specs have been modified to support -nonow. A patch can be written for binutils to support it at a later time if there proves to be a need. Somebody that uses this pkg will have to post ebuild and patches here if need be.
*** Bug 79267 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have tried this fix with gst-plugins-alsa and gst-plugins-oss and it didn't fix them. using gcc-3.3.5 (hardened) and binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1. When compiled with vanilla gcc it works fine. Maybe i need another version of binutils for -nonow to work?
It looks like the various gst-plugins builds use libtool, and libtool filters out the -nonow linker argument. This is sort of a kludge, but when placed in the gst-plugins_src_configure() function in the gst-plugins.eclass file, seems to do the trick: use hardened && append-ldflags "-Xcompiler -nonow"
I have this bug on both hardened and non-hardened system, so I doubt it has anything to do with hardened. Just now I recompiled gstreamer and all gst-plugin-* packages, like this: LDFLAGS="-nonow" emerge -va gstreamer gst-plugins gst-plugins-ogg gst-plugins-esd gst-plugins-flac gst-plugins-vorbis gst-plugins-alsa gst-plugins-cdparanoia gst-plugins-mad On the hardened system, it does not make a jota of difference, gnome-volume-control is still broken (and, in fact the whole of gstreamer). I redid gst-register-0.8, both as root and as normal user, still no joy.

I have media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.8-r2 installed with NOW bindings and do not have any problems. media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.8-r2 -alsa -debug +esd -oss
gstreamer 0.8.11, by default, still doesn't work with hardened gcc, even with the prelinking stuff disabled.
Seems like this one may be fixed with gstreamer-0.10. Running gstreamer-properties only gives warnings about a unavailable plugins (ie not installed such as arts) and totem (version 1.4.2-r1) works with the gstreamer backend now. The only thing that still doesn't want to play nice is the volume control panel applet, but that may have other reasons (gnome-volume-control works). This on a stable x86 hardened.
I also tried it last week and didn't have any problems. If this problem still persists for you, feel free to reopen this bug.
