It made the generated Gst-1.0.gir be different for 32 bit and 64 bit packages,
Install Gst-1.0.gir to ${libdir} which splits 32 bit and 64 bit libraries
Submit a patch to upstream to add meson option (gir_dir_prefix) to override
default
gir install location (datadir). When multilib is enabled, install .gir files to
${libdir} other than ${datadir}

+Subject: [PATCH] meson: Add gir_dir_prefix option to override gir default
+ location
+
+Originally, the .gir files would always get installed into the default
+location (datadir).
+
+This commit adds meson option (gir_dir_prefix) to override it as intermediate
+prefix for gir installation under ${prefix}, such as
+
+ $ meson setup -Dgir_dir_prefix=lib64
+
+The .gir files are installed to /usr/lib64/gir-1.0
+
+ Installing gst/Gst-1.0.gir to /usr/lib64/gir-1.0
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted
