OK, I found these two symbols in libQt5Core.so.5.7.1 (sorry, I don't know what
"qtbase-opensource-src 5.7.1+dfsg-2" refers to), but the test case only
provides this file; it doesn't provide a repro for building it.

There's only one definition of each of these symbols in libQt5Gui.so.5.7.1, so
I don't know why ld is complaining about duplicate symbols. These are shared
libraries, and it shouldn't complain about duplicates across shared libraries.
