SHA384_Update symbol clash with libgs
I'm not sure at which level this needs to be dealt with.
libgs, in its infinite wisdom, exports SHA384_Update, which of course clashes
with OpenSSL's well known symbol of the same name. Which means that as soon as
you pull in libgs, your TLS may fail in mysterious ways.
[In my case, it was php-ldap failing to StartTLS because OpenSSL's
tls1_setup_key_block() failed. It took three working days (including two
stepping through OpenSSL code) to pinpoint that. libgs was pulled in via
php-imagick.]
Apart from a GS rendering library exporting symbol with the name of a
well-known crypto function being a strange idea, who is at fault? Why does
libssl's reference to SHA384_Update gets resolved to libgs's symbol and not
libc's?
Any workaround to make the code work?
