-Subject: [PATCH] O_CLOEXEC needs _GNU_SOURCE defined
-
-From man open(2):
-
-    The O_CLOEXEC, O_DIRECTORY, and O_NOFOLLOW flags are not specified
-    in POSIX.1-2001, but are specified in POSIX.1-2008.  Since glibc
-    2.12, one can obtain their definitions by defining either
-    _POSIX_C_SOURCE with a value greater than or equal to 200809L or
-    _XOPEN_SOURCE with a value greater than or equal to 700.  In glibc
-    2.11 and earlier, one obtains the definitions by defining
-    _GNU_SOURCE.
-
-And indeed, with the uClibc C library, O_CLOEXEC is not exposed if
-_GNU_SOURCE is not defined. Therefore, this commit fixes the build of
-gstreamer-vaapi with the uClibc C library.

-Subject: [PATCH] plugins: when debug disabled, default category is NULL
-
-As in gstreamer-vaapi a common base class is used, the specific
-default category is passed to the base-plugin initializator, thus
-the log messages are categorized with the used plugin.
-
-Nonetheless, when the gst-debug is disabled in compilation time,
-it is needed to pass NULL to the base-plugin initializator. This
-patch does that.
