Unfortunately gst 2.95e SIGSEGV on ia64 while launching the testsuite on
AnsiLoad.st.

(I have tried compiling it with embedded libffi4 and libsigsegv, then
Debian versions; I get the same error)

Here's the stacktrace:

It's not clear for me what's causing this, the real SIGSEGV might be
hidden by libsigsegv mechanism.
