Don't panic, I'm very experienced at solving dynamic linkage conflicts like this (sadly).

We don't need to compromise and make yet more dynamic libraries. We also should NOT use -Bsymbolic*, because it's only a workaround telling the dynamic loader which copy of the symbols to use (while there still exists redundant copies of everything). A proper fix will ensure there is only ever one copy of each compiz symbol, and that is always in compiz_core.

All we need to do is find a way to tell CMake that "compiz_core" CONTAINS the compiz_* archives, while also telling it not to carry those target dependencies on to other components (plugins) that use compiz_core. It's that simple, and I suspect CMake can do it (somehow).
