Comment 46 for bug 1538361

In a mingw/msys window do:

 strings /c/progs/devlibs53/lib/libpoppler.dll.a | grep printf
 strings /c/progs/devlibs61/lib/libpoppler.dll.a | grep printf

This shows that the newer version has its own copies of the printf()
series of functions, but the older one does not. Like this:

fprintf
_fprintf
__imp__fprintf

On linux (Ubuntu 14.04) libpoppler also has redefines these language standard functions:

strings /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so | grep -i fprintf
__fprintf_chk

strings /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpoppler.a | grep -i fprintf
__fprintf_chk

and uses the same name as libc

strings /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep fprintf
__fprintf_chk

Yet there is no problem using them on Linux.

Let me bounce this off the poppler mailing list and see if this is a known issue.
