Yep, as per the discussion on inlining wayland_drm_buffer_get. :)
It certainly hurts, but then again breaking ABI and forcing every single
Wayland user to rebuild - probably having to change every symbol name in the
API to make sure there was no clash between the two when loaded - would be
uncharted depths of pain.
On the other hand, the solution is the same: look at the interface name, rather
than ever compare pointers equally. Unfortunately, we can't use the same
solution since the wayland-drm one only works for wl_resource in
libwayland-server rather than a plain wl_interface or a wl_proxy ... oh well.

I don't think that would necessarily fix it, particularly if the
wayland-client.so.1 being loaded differed, e.g. due to people linking their own
copies?</pre>
