I thought it was, just re-checked.  It is a hard dependency on i686 or
x86_64.

It seems gas is required for (a flavour of?) arm and otherwise you'll
get c/c++ fallback functions.  See

Yeah, so not sure.  gst-libav handles h264 already, but I'm not sure
what the downside there is.  gst-plugins-bad had this comment about
openh264 missing...
