This was fixed on master with this commit:

    Avoid .symver on common symbols [BZ #21666]

It backports cleanly with “git cherry-pick” (if you have the ChangeLog
merge driver installed).  It's also included on the release/2.24/master
branch.

Is there a reason why you use 2.23 in particular?  2.24 is more widely
used and thus has more backports on the release branch.  Or you could
switch to a later release such as 2.27 or 2.28, especially if you have a
modern toolchain.

Could you upgrade your distribution?
