"In a similar fashion to how we handle out compat snprintf
 implementation, if we define it all the time, the compiler
 will first try and link to __imp_x264_symbol_name, and failing
 that, as in the case of a static libx264, will attempt to link
 to the non-prefixed symbol, which has already been pulled in by
 other x264 functions' object files."
