Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Evolution crashes when attempting to merge contacts (e.g. when copying
  or moving contacts between address books).

  This is rather annoying as the user might not be aware of the cause of
  the crash (i.e. that a contact with the same name already exists in
  the destination address book).

  The fix is to compile evolution without -Bsymbolic-functions.
  Compiling with -Bsymbolic-functions is not supported by upstream
  (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594473). The fix for this
  issue for Vivid is in bug #1402422.

  
  [Test case]

  Steps to reproduce:
  - Start evolution
  - Create contact with full name "dummy" in Personal address book
  - Create contact with full name "dummy" in Personal address book

  Expected behavior: Message about merging the contact

  Actual behavior:
  (evolution:3262): evolution-util-ERROR **: eab-contact-duplicate-detected.ui: Invalid type function on line 88: 'eab_contact_display_get_type'
  Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

  
  [Regression potential]

  Regression potential is rather low. There is the possibility that some
  plugins rely on the semantic of -Bsymbolic-functions (i.e. have
  internal function which are exported and their names clash) but this
  seems rather unlikely as all (or at least most) other distributions
  compile without -Bsymbolic-functions.
