OK, I managed to build the gst-plugins-0.8.11 on Maemo 1.1 after copying 
the 0.8.10 dataprotocol.h from the tar.gz to 
/usr/inculde/gstreamer-0.8/gst/dataprotocol/ and using this configure line:

> ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gst_v4l --disable-gst_v4l2 
> --disable-xvideo --disable-xshm --disable-xvid --disable-audiofile

It accepted to compile after correcting a small bug in the ximagesrc 
plugin (the #ifdef HAVE_XDAMAGE line 450 of sys/ximage/ximagesrc.c is 
misplaced which causes a 'struct has no member' error. It should be on 
line 438, I don't know if I should post a bug report since this version 
is quite old now).
Thanks to this stuff, my gstreamer plugin now compiles against the ARM 
target, I'm gonna check if it works today and keep the list inform (it 
may interest people who write GStreamer plugins ;-)

Thanks for the help,
Corentin BARON.
