Yes, but enums (and other types) are not symbols, so an application with
conflict only has to deal with it for the source files that include the
relevant PETSc headers. It's a conflict that should be fixed, but it
doesn't prevent that application from being used with PETSc in the way that
symbols with extern linkage do.
