The problem appears to be PPC specific and related to gststreamer-0.10.x. 

One of the other maintainers of GARNOME has tested totem on a lintel box and it
works fine when built within the GARNOME-2.14-beta1 framework using the
gst-0.10.x back end.

Since the problem appears related to gstreamer-0.10.x, I went back and ran
'make check' within the gstreamer-0.10.2 work directory.  All 34 tests failed,
each with the same R_PPC_REL24 relocation error:

/opt/garnome-2.13.x/src/desktop/gstreamer/work/main.d/gstreamer-0.10.2/tests/check/libs/.libs/lt-controller:
error while loading shared libraries:
/opt/garnome-2.13.x/src/desktop/gstreamer/work/main.d/gstreamer-0.10.2/libs/gst/check/.libs/libgstcheck-0.10.so.0:
R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0ff828dc for symbol `malloc' out of range

The R_PPC_REL24 relocation error arises when PIC and non-PIC code are
indiscriminately thrown together into a shared library.

This is not to say that PIC and non-PIC code cannot be "properly" combined to
form a shared library on a PPC. It's all a matter of using the right
combination fo compiler and linker flags.

I will poke the gstreamer folks to see if they have any suggestions.
