Description

This is definitely a weird one

$ python -c "import pyarrow.cuda"
[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/descriptor_database.cc:58] File already exists in database: orc_proto.proto
[libprotobuf FATAL google/protobuf/descriptor.cc:1358] CHECK failed: GeneratedDatabase()->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size): 
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'google::protobuf::FatalException'
  what():  CHECK failed: GeneratedDatabase()->Add(encoded_file_descriptor, size): 
Aborted (core dumped)

It appears that something has run afoul in our linker setup. I haven't built the Python library on the machine I'm working on in a while, I'm using a pretty vanilla conda setup with all the optional pieces (ORC, Parquet, CUDA, Flight) enabled
