I wanted to make sure I understood how symbols interact in kext's. If I
use a generally available library and another kext also uses that
library, will those symbols interact with each other when the kext are
loaded? That is it possible that my kext will accidentally link to the
symbols in the other kext using a the same library?

Of course the problem is that changes or versions of these libraries are
different and could cause problems with either kext.

Thank you for this clarification.

 ...Duane
