Reporter for a different issue, ASTERISK-21047, found the issue when troubleshooting. I reproduced.

Unlike Asterisk 1.8, Asterisk 11 has the SIP security event framework that was added in Asterisk 10. The SIP Security Event Framework exists in a separate file from {{channels/chan_sip.c}} - {{channels/sip/security_events.c}}. The security event code also uses {{ao2}} objects and is compiled into {{chan_sip}}. If you don't enable {{REF_DEBUG}} in *both* files, you get an undefined symbol error, as {{security_events.c}} will still be attempting to access the non-REF_DEBUG version of the functions that modify the reference count on peers.

Note that this is documented in Asterisk 11's {{chan_sip.c}}, right above the {{REF_DEBUG}} comment:

{noformat}
  Note: This must also be enabled in channels/sip/security_events.c
*/
#define  REF_DEBUG 1
{noformat}

This probably just needs to be updated on the wiki.
