Most commonly this comes from having a global variable that has
the same name as a function, often a global variable in your program
conflicts with an exposed library name or vice versa.  The message is 
arguably awfully cryptic, and gives little or no clue about what is 
really wrong.  I'll mention it to the compiler folks.
