Using Elektron SDK1.3.0 and we would like to link to libRFA.a and librssl.a form the ETA in a single executable. However, we are expecting names clashes. Can you please tell us if there's a safe way of doing this and if it's possible at all? Thank you.

The underlying API used by RFA C++ is ETA (RSSL) and the ETA (RSSL) is statically linked into the RFA C++ library.

Therefore, the application is unable to statically link both libRFA.a and librssl.a into a single executable. Moreover, the version of ETA (RSSL) used by the Elektron SDK is newer than the version of ETA (RSSL) used in the RFA C++ library. The workaround is using the shared libraries instead.
