I point out that the symbols were (at least mostly) previously intra- 
library,
not inter-library.

Adding librpmmisc also necessitates dragging in sqlite/bdb in order
to -lrpmio.

I'd rather not get into the intricacies of changing symbol names on the
fly post-compilation. The portability problems there are daunting.

But I'm sure there is a way to change symbols, either by wrapping, or
by loader maps, if necessary.
