Add a test to check for duplicate definitions in the static library

This change follows two previous fixes addressing multiple definitions
of __memcpy_chk and __mempcpy_chk functions on i586, and __memmove_chk
and __memset_chk functions on i686.  The test is intended to prevent
such issues from occurring in the future.
