This 'vgPlain_tool_info' error is caused by having valgrind installed prior to attempting to emerge gstreamer-0.8.11 - not sure if it happens with 0.8.10 or not.
It looks something like:
Code:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -o .libs/spidertest spidertest-spidertest.o  ../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.8.so -L/usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux /usr/lib/libxml2.so -lz /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so -lpthread /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/libpopt.so -lcoregrind -lvex -lgcc -lm
../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.8.so: undefined reference to `vgPlain_tool_info'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [spidertest] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs...


There are 2 solutions:

1. Unmask gstreamer-0.10.0:
Code:

echo "=media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.0" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

Not sure what the state of 0.10.0 is - I just know it compiles properly even if you already have valgrind installed
2. Grab the updated ebuild from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115421 and make sure your USE flags don't include valgrind - you can
Code:

echo "=media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.11 -valgrind" >> /etc/portage/package.use

to be sure.

HTH-

It happens with 0.8.10 as well; just wanted to say thanks for figuring that out, I've had that problem for a few weeks now.

Strange... to me it seems that there is no valgrind USE flag for gstreamer...

Code:

$ emerge -pv gstreamer

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.11 [0.8.10] USE="-debug -doc" 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB


Emerging gstreamer still fails...

Same error when using -valgrind (as noted above there is no valgrind USE flag for gstreamer). The work around i had to do was as follows:

emerge -C valgrind
emerge -av gstreamer (0.8.11)
emerge -av valgrind (3.1.0)
