Unfortunately, gst-plugins-base-1.10.3 has failed its test suite on i686
three times in a row on Hydra, which leaves i686 users in a very bad
spot, since modern web browsers, media players, and desktop environments
become dependency failures.

If we can't find a proper fix soon, we may need to revert this change.

    Regards,
      Mark

I can reproduce it with `guix build --system=i686-linux` on x86_64.

Reverting is not a good option due to:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q1/284

Will try to figure out what's going on.

This was fixed upstream a few hours ago:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base/commit/?id=5e2e111627871c566ffc6607eda8f4ef4699d040

I pushed this patch as feeeee241868e39d102f074805b38d6621435f25.

Gstreamer 1.10.3 fixed a large number of bugs with potential security
implications:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q1/258

So, hopefully we can find a fix for i686 platforms quickly so users can
get those changes.
