I think the problem may have to do with 2.2 linking with a flat 
namespace (which was the standard way before OSX 10.2 came out). There 
is a good chance that switching to 2.3 will make the problem disappear.
If that is not an option you could take the two-level namespace support 
from 2.3 and backport it to 2.2.
