Actually it hasn't.

We have bugs open where heimdal symbols conflicts with the system
library symbols for example (openchange linked by evolution that also
links to the system kerberos library).
And talloc symbols statically linked in the libwbclient library also
conflicting with the system talloc.

Simo.
