Hm, even a stacktrace doesn't give anything? It should tell you where
the code is being called from...

The views could at some point be compiled in, but if just fixing the
build means less changes, I prefer that at this stage.

Are you sure that it's not possible? It sounds like a terrible
limitation, how could any plugins ever work in any app? Are you sure
it's not just a matter of adding -export-dynamic to the planner
executable LDFLAGS? (plus splitting the shared files from gantt/task to
a helper lib).
