yeah, os x's linker doesn't like multiple same-named symbols in the common
section of libraries.  IIRC, if you compile _every_ .c file and link the
lib and executable (if any) with the '-fno-common' cmdline option, it'll
work.  however, i'm not sure how to tell libtool to do that in a portable
way.

I was just successful : I just had to remove UriType and leave an empty
type definition...

I also had to remove any -Wl,R/usr/local/lib which is present in some
Makefiles.
