The linker complains about multiple ubik_SetServerSecurityProcs
definitions among what it should use to link together pt_util.
So one needs to look at all the objetcs and see if there actually are multiple definitions.
If there are multiples all but one should be removed.
And there is a related bug where there might be multiple definitions but these are not used and
the the linker should just ignore that (because in that case it does not matter).

That's my 5c idea.
