I broke the one definition rule by having a symbol in two different .so files. The optimizer can't optimize around this and on Linux the order of loading says who wins. On windows there are different rules, but I forget which.
Of course if the optimizer could make an optimization I would be in trouble, but my build systems ensures that there is no optimizer that gets access to either definition.
