I keep having problems with multiple declared externals...  Every now and then
I'll get an error message from asld, and upon examination I'll find that I've
used a name for a variable or function that's also used in the library -- but
declared as static in the library module.  Never the less, recompiling the
library module with a new name for that variable or function fixes the problem
for me.  So, what's wrong with asld?  Doesn't it understand statics at all?
Or am I doing something wrong?

My library modules are compiled with commands like

	cc -F -LIB -Di8087 -S fopen.c

and I compile my own programs with commands like

	cc -F -DMINIX -c foo.c
	cc -F -DMINIX -c bar.c
	cc -i -o foo foo.s bar.s

If anyone can help me fix this problem, I'll be most grateful...
