第三方DLL导出STL符号致链接冲突，求可行解决方法

我正在开发一个依赖第三方DLL的项目，该DLL未知原因导出了std::vector<unsigned char>的大部分（非全部）符号，通过dumpbin.exe验证的结果如下：

$ dumpbin.exe -exports Problem.lib | grep 'std::vector'
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@$$QEAV01@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(class std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> > &&))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@$$QEAV01@AEBV?$allocator@E@1@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(class std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> > &&,class std::allocator<unsigned char> const &))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@AEBV01@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(class std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> > const &))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@AEBV01@AEBV?$allocator@E@1@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(class std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> > const &,class std::allocator<unsigned char> const &))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@AEBV?$allocator@E@1@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(class std::allocator<unsigned char> const &))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@V?$initializer_list@E@1@AEBV?$allocator@E@1@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(class std::initializer_list<unsigned char>,class std::allocator<unsigned char> const &))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@XZ (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(void))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@_KAEBEAEBV?$allocator@E@1@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(unsigned __int64,unsigned char const &,class std::allocator<unsigned char> const &))
                  ??0?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@_KAEBV?$allocator@E@1@@Z (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(unsigned __int64,class std::allocator<unsigned char> const &))
                  ??1?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@XZ (public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::~vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(void))
                  ...

当项目代码中使用std::vector<unsigned char>时，出现重复符号导致的链接失败错误：

Problem.lib(Problem.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __cdecl std::vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >::~vector<unsigned char,class std::allocator<unsigned char> >(void)" (??1?$vector@EV?$allocator@E@std@@@std@@QEAA@XZ) already defined in Application.obj
   Creating library C:\Users\Parker\project\Application.lib and object C:\Users\Parker\Project\Application.exp
C:\Users\Parker\project\Application.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

我无法获取该DLL的源代码，也无法从供应商处获取新版本，且供应商不会修复此问题。已尝试三种方法但均未成功：

• 修改存根.lib文件移除相关导出符号，暂未找到可行方法；
• 使用C++11的extern template特性复用DLL中的实现，尝试未成功；
• 在应用代码中完全避免使用std::vector<unsigned char>，该方案虽极端但短期可能省力。

现寻求该特殊问题的可行解决途径。
