This poses the bigger question whether all mmc_* functions should be
renamed and even whether libburn has to care for collisions of its
private symbols with other libraries.

Please give me some background info about the situation that led to the
clash:

- How exactly did you configure and build xorriso ?
  Was there any deviation from
    ./configure --enable-libcdio && make

- Which version of libcdio do you use ?

- Is there a particular reason why you link xorriso with libcdio ?
  Afaik, libburn has own system adapters for all operating systems where
  libcdio can perform passthrough of SCSI commands.


Have a nice day :)
