Again, if you are trying to link the 2 versions of the same library
twice you are asking for trouble.  It can be made work if you know what
your are doing, but it's not a good idea.  If you do such a thing, and
report bugs here, please explicitly say this in each bug report.

IMHO it's better to figure out a way to avoid linking 2 versions of the
same library than to play any tricks with the config files, linker, etc.
