Not sure why it occurred only now, maybe after recent changes with shared libraries this problem just got more apparent and previously it was masked by some other library after mappings also using IfcGeom. But the issue was that mapping were not linked against IfcGeom, though it's symbols were used in them. E.g. IfcSectionedSurface.cpp was using `has_loft` from `infra_sweep_helper`. Issue occurred only on Linux - msvc and clang are less strict and probably do multiple passes to fetch symbols.

IfcOpenShell
IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.
In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
