Subject: [PATCH] Canonicalize the library path returned by dladdr

On systems using UsrMerge (like openSUSE or Fedora), /lib64 is
a symlink to /usr/lib64. So dladdr is returning the path to
the gstreamer library in /lib64 in priv_gst_get_relocated_libgstreamer.
Later gst_plugin_loader_spawn tries to build the path to the
gst-plugin-scanner helper from /lib64 and ends up trying to use
/lib64/../libexec/gstreamer-1.0/gst-plugin-scanner which doesn't exist.

By canonicalizing the path with a call to realpath, gst-plugin-scanner
is found correctly under
/usr/lib64/../libexec/gstreamer-1.0/gst-plugin-scanner
