	Very odd;

	It looks like we're defining the same symbols multiple times somehow
internally - which isn't good; but the Linux linker is more tolerant of
such things;

	Can you try:

	find -name '*.<o>' -exec objdump -T {} \; | less

	Where <o> is your object file extension; and see if you can locate the
object files wherein the duplicate definitions lurk - it seems the
linker is not being over-helpful.

	Thanks,

		Michael.
