Doesn't sound like a but to me!  Since function fred() is defined as static,
no references to fred() are allowed outside this dot-c file.  So it will
compile, but when you link with another dot-c, any reference to fred() in
the second dot-c should produce unresolved external declaration errors
(which is what you're seeing with '...identifier not found' messages).

Get rid of the "static" in front of "int fred()" and try it.
