Bug: symbols conflict with whisper.cpp

[thewh1teagle]

What happened?

I'm trying to use llama.cpp alongside whisper.cpp in Rust but I can't link the libraries because they link the same ggml symbols.

llama-cpp-2 and whisper-rs

Is there a known solution for that? maybe adding prefix to the symbols? can it be configured at compile time per each library with cmake?

Does ggml version of llama.cpp synced with whisper.cpp so I can link ggml once? Seems like ggml is not submodule here

[ggerganov]

The source code of the ggml library is synced regularly between whisper.cpp and llama.cpp

I see the same with my own project. It would be good if both codebases shared the same ggml as a submodule as already mentioned. I went to manually merge in the libllama ggml stuff into libwhisper but there's enough differences as to be annoying.
