It smells a lot like <https://stackoverflow.com/q/32372786>.

Was everything built with `-stdlib=libc++`? libc++ is LLVM's standard
C++ library. libstdc++ is GNU's standard C++ library. It sounds like
both libraries are trying to provide the symbol.

Another interesting discussion is at
<https://github.com/numba/numba/issues/358>. I've never seen the
option they discuss, though. (adding the `-system-libX` option).
