I would still suggest the asn1 change if we are doing a temporary fix, beca=
use:
- It does not add any new symbol versioning, it just converts the
'global: *' to an explicit list of symbols.
- there are other libraries lined to asn1 which may have the same
issue as libkafs5 (I haven't really looked at this.

The only downside I see is that libasn1 has a lot of symbols.
