Building TI GStreamer Plugins

I am attempting to build the GStreamer plugins in an OE environment
following instructions found here:
https://gstreamer.ti.com/gf/project/gstreamer_ti/wiki/?pagename=BuildingWithAngstrom

I've obtained and installed the reference .bin files and have them
here:
/OE/TI/bios_5_33_02
/OE/TI/cg6x_6_0_16
/OE/TI/xdctools_3_10_03

I retrieved the codec_engine_2_21.tar.gz file and placed it in recipes/
dsplink/files and modified the ti-codec-engine bb file to use that as
the source. I am using origin/stable/2009 per the wiki.

When I run bitbake ti-codec-engine I get a compile failure related to
tconf. I chatted with some experts and they say tconf doesn't like to
be run out of directories with a '.' in it. Unfortunately, according
to my log.do_compile, the build system seems to be entering a
directory with a '.' in it - this directory was extracted as part of
the contents of the codec_engine tgz. Here are the relevant log
lines, ommitting the absurdly long tconf cmd that precedes the errors.

#really long tconf command followed by...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
