The symbol pvar_func_Registrar is created by this line in a .c or .cpp file:
    epicsExportRegistrar(Registrar);

and pulled into your <app>_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp file by this line in 
a .dbd file:
    registrar(Registrar)

Look for both of those in your source tree; either you're incluing that .dbd 
line unnecessarily, or you're not compiling/linking that .c file into your 
combined binary.

Also check for warning messages when compiling that .c file; if you've 
forgotten to #include <epicsExport.h>  then that statement can look like a 
function declaration but will at least generate a warning.

HTH,
