Congrats, you've run across an unbelievably annoying bug with Sun 4.0.x.
The only way I know to fix this is to:

1. delete global-alloc.o
2. type make again (this will recompile global-alloc.c) and try
   relinking
3. repeat as necessary until done (it usually takes several tries).

Anyone have a better suggestion?
