I could overcome this error and compile the package with the following
./configure option ( added --disable-examples):

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-package-name="GStreamer Base Plugins $version
(Nyx)"\
--disable-examples

I'm surprised why no one has responded to this.
I can confirm the above issue on a clean environment.
That is, if libgstvideo-1.0.* is not already installed on the system,
then the above linking error occurs.
