clashing symbols

There is a long standing bug in KDE which involves a symbol clash between 
the proprietary flash plugin and libGLU1.so. libGLU1 is linked to by QT 
and a wrapper program is used around the flash plugin. The flash plugin 
seems to call the destructor ~DisplayList from libGLU1.so instead of its own.

Since I'm no expert on any of these low level things I was wondering if 
anything can be done during link time of libGLU1 (or otherwise) to prevent 
that the wrong function is called, since it usually leads to memory 
corruption.
