 Not sure this would be easy to fix (or worth any complication in the library
 interface) - a "simple" hack around it if you just want to debug something:
 
  - add a define to rename all entry points slightly (ideally both for lib
    and users)
  - recompile the lib with that macro defined and link it with a different
    target name
  - compile the app with the rename macro and against the renamed lib
 
 Then you should be able to debug the result just fine.
