And one that supports RPCSEC_GSS (RFC 2203) :-) 

WRT the initial poster's problem: most linkers have a flag to allow multiply
defined symbols, although this is a bad thing.

eg, under NEXTSTEP:

     -m   Don't treat multiply defined symbols as a hard error;
          instead, simply print a warning.  The first such symbol
          is used for linking; its value is used for the symbol
          in the symbol table.  The other symbols by the same
          name may be used in the resulting output file through
          local references.  This can still produce a resulting
          output file that is in error.  This flag's use is
          strongly discouraged!
