Just ignore the warnings. The way to avoid them would be to
restructure the code, and that isn't happening soon (?). What they
warn against works fine on all platforms that Evolution runs on anyway
(Linux, Solaris, maybe other ELF-based POSIX systems, Windows).

If Evolution would be ported to some other kind of system (non-ELF
POSIXes like (older?) AIX or HP-UX, OpenVMS, etc), there are more
serious things that need fixing, like the circular dependencies
between shared libraries.
