The answer is that a failure looks like this:

duplicate symbol _FeBeWaitSet in:
access/common/printtup.o
access/transam/parallel.o
duplicate symbol _FeBeWaitSet in:
access/common/printtup.o
commands/async.o
duplicate symbol _FeBeWaitSet in:
access/common/printtup.o
commands/copy.o
duplicate symbol _FeBeWaitSet in:
access/common/printtup.o
libpq/be-secure.o
duplicate symbol _FeBeWaitSet in:
access/common/printtup.o
libpq/auth.o
duplicate symbol _FeBeWaitSet in:
access/common/printtup.o
libpq/hba.o
duplicate symbol _FeBeWaitSet in:
access/common/printtup.o
libpq/pqcomm.o
... etc etc ...
