The error says nothing about pango, is only says that virtual/libx11
is missing.

That said, this was a problem of my own doing :-(  I have this in
gst-plugins-base_0.10.36.bbappend:
   # Enable extra plugins
   PACKAGECONFIG += "pango x11"

Sorry for all the noise.  It's still too bad that bitbake didn't really
help me find this, only spitting out those errors...
