I think it's pretty clear by looking at configure.ac:

dnl Versions for GStreamer and plugins-base
case $GST_API_VERSION in
0.10)
    GST_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst0_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst0_plugins_base_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BAD_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst0_plugins_bad_version
    ;;
1.0)
    GST_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst1_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst1_plugins_base_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BAD_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst1_plugins_bad_version
    ;;
1.2)
    GST_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst12_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst12_plugins_base_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BAD_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst12_plugins_bad_version
    ;;
1.3)
    GST_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst14_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst14_plugins_base_version
    GST_PLUGINS_BAD_VERSION_REQUIRED=gst14_plugins_bad_version
    ;;
*)
    AC_MSG_ERROR([unsupported GStreamer API version $GST_API_VERSION])
    ;;
esac

GStreamer is now at 1.4 so that fails. This probably just needs to change 1.3
with 1.4.
