It appears that the failure occurs when attempting to compile the videoio modules. In particular, the gstreamer 0.10 headers fail to be successfully parsed because of object definition errors. The seem to have difficulty with xml2 elements in defining gstreamer objects. Below I have extracted errors from the scene of the crime:
