I had the same problem, and I'm sure many others have too.  The problem
(I am told) is a bug in the C compiler.  When you have static variables
inside a function (they may have to be structs, I'm not sure), you will
get _XX multiply defined.  The easiest fix is to edit ls.c and move the
static declarations out of the functions.  I did this and got it to compile,
but now I have core dumps whenever I do a 'ls -l'.  If you get it to work,
I'd like to hear about it.  Anyone else got ls to work?

Thanks
