In case this is useful to others stumbling on this page:  In my (extremely 
limited) experience, run_options.add_project() ignores the 
global_symbol_strategy_rules and complains about ambiguous symbols even if 
you include it and regardless of what you specify in it.  Instead, you must 
add these rules to each add_project() call, and the option is 
symbol_strategy_rules = [...same stuff as global...], not 
global_symbol_strategy_rules (when it occurs withing a specific 
add_project).
