Architecture: i686
>Description:
The util_dup.c source file defines a function named g_strdup()
which appears to be unused. This symbol conflicts with a
similarly-named function in the glib library, which is used by
the GTK+ toolkit and various other programs. There could be other
conflicts in naming, because both make use of "g_" as a prefix
for function names, but this is the case that I've been told
about. The original posting is at:

>How-To-Repeat:
Sample C program which will link successfully with libgssapi_krb5
or glib:
#include <glib.h>
#include <krb5.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i = (g_strdup("Test string") != NULL);
return !i;
}
Can be built by running:
gcc -o example `glib-config --cflags` -I/usr/kerberos/include example.c `glib-config --libs`
or:
gcc -o example `glib-config --cflags` -I/usr/kerberos/include example.c -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err
>Fix:
Is it possible to rename the functions using a different prefix?
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
glib used by GTK+ toolkit and various other programs
