ld32 warnings on SGI IRIX

[spl szechuan ucsd edu (Steve Lamont)]

I'm new to this list, so a thousand apologies if this has been asked
before (I did scan the archives for the last couple of months).

When building the test GTK test and other GTK based programs on a
Silicon Graphics Onyx running IRIX 6.2, I get a flock of warning
messages about definition preemption.

For example (from within the GTK build):

  creating testgtk
  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../gtk -I.. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Gtk\"
  	-DGTK_DISABLE_COMPAT_H -DGTK_EXE_PREFIX=\"/usr/local\"
  	-DGTK_DATA_PREFIX=\"/usr/local\" -DGTK_SYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\"
  	-DGTK_LOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local//locale\" -I../.. -DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS
  	-DUSE_XIM -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/include
  	-D_REENTRANT    -g -O2 -Wall -c ../../gtk/testinput.c
  /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall  -o testinput
  	testinput.o libgtk.la ../gdk/libgdk.la -lXext -lX11 -L/usr/local/lib
  	-lgmodule -lglib -lm 
  gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o .libs/testinput testinput.o .libs/libgtk.so
  	-L/usr/local/lib -lgmodule -lglib -lXext -lX11 -lm
  	../gdk/.libs/libgdk.so -lgmodule -lglib -lXext -lX11 -lm -lXext -lX11
  	-L/usr/local/lib -lgmodule -lglib -lm -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib

These message also occur at run time.  They are obviously annoying and
confusing to J. Random User.

The `Makefile' was created with

	mkdir SGI
	cd SGI
	../configure --srcdir=..

(that is, I am creating a separate compilation directory, since I wish
to build versions for both SGI IRIX 6.x and Sun Solaris 2.6 from the
same source tree) and ran without apparent incident.

Suggestions, clues, and/or RTFMs (with appropriate references, please)
are invited.
