Okay net wizards, I need some advice as to how dangerous a path I am
trodding...

I am developing an application with Zortech's C++ v2.0. I need to link
with a 3rd party library which was built with MS C v5.0. My link line looks
like the following:

   link test,,,fg+pll+zll+cpptl+(3rd party library)+llibc7 /NOD/NOE;
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                     ^^^^^
               Zortech libs                         MS lib

The program links with 14 multiply defined symbols and 2 fixup overflows as
shown at the end of this message. The resulting executable runs fine
however, in spite of the linker errors. My simple test program uses all
the functions my full-blown application will use. Should I continue on
developing my application and just ignore these linker errors, or should
I be concerned that later down the road something might break????

Linker errors:

LLIBC7.LIB(CRT0) : error L2025: __acrtused : symbol defined more than once
LLIBC7.LIB(CRT0DAT) : error L2025: _errno : symbol defined more than once
                        .
