It's still not reproducible here even if both GStreamer and
gst-plugins-base are configured with the --disable-Bsymbolic option.
The gst_adder_get_type() function in gstadder.c is still called from the
plugin_init() function as before.

At any rate, I've made a new release where the custom plug-in
*_get_type() functions are named in such a way so as not to conflict
with the GStreamer *_get_type() function names.  This should fix this
problem though it is not clear why it is happening.
