In theory, with -Bsymbolic-functions, you cannot override functions defined in libxfont1 by programs/libraries linking against libxfont1. However I'm still trying to bring this theory down to c-code, which will in fact show different behaviour for different linker options. As a reminder, I've just filed bug #230460. I guess it's possible to find out who's the "evildoer" (it might even be done on purpose) by comparing symbols of libxfont1 with symbols of libs/programs linking against it, but I'm far from sure there. Once I know more, I'll post updates to bug #230460.
