It may (or may not) help as a workaround to build your modules with
-Wl,-Bsymbolic, which tells the linker to bind all symbols locally within
the shared object if possible at link time.  This will (hopefully) cause
the module to be built without an external reference to that symbol, so
then there's nothing to go wrong at runtime.

Note that this will change other linker behavior.  Read the GNU ld
documentation for more details on exactly what the option does.
