Isn't that just asking for trouble? You really want to be explicit about which 
definition to use as the runtime behaviour will be affected. I suppose you 
could do that by manually specifying -lidn first, the invocation in the message 
above doesn't do this and probably won't behave correctly (or only does so 
accidentally).

I think you should ask on the libidn list about how they handle this.
