QtMultimediaGstTools (formerly qgsttools_p) is a shared library marked 
"internal_module". Does it need to be a shared library?

It's linked into several plugins:
src/plugins/gstreamer/audiodecoder/audiodecoder.pro:include(../common.pri)
src/plugins/gstreamer/camerabin/camerabin.pro:include(../common.pri)
src/plugins/gstreamer/mediacapture/mediacapture.pro:include(../common.pri)
src/plugins/gstreamer/mediaplayer/mediaplayer.pro:include(../common.pri)

But it's a fairly small ibrary:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 250649   10192     164  261005   3fb8d libQt5MultimediaGstTools.t.so.5.10.0
