Hmm..

There's nothing C++ specific about this.  This is a symbol collision which can
and sometimes happen with C too.

The problem here is that we're linking to LLVM/libstdc++ as a shared library,
and polluting the symbol namespace. The right fix is to link to LLVM/libstdc++
as a static library and/or ensure that all its symbols are not visible outside
of the DRI driver.
