 I may be late in the discussion, but the problem with
statics between UN*X and AMIGA arises from the fact that
blink does not allow multiple declarations of external
symbols. When you include header files with such definition
you run into trouble. To avoid this, CC and lc both have flags
to turn any  declaration into a harmless external definition.

 UN*X on the other hand allows multiple declarations. It will
allocate memory to fit the largest declaration. Of course no
type checking is done. This means that the two following files
will link fine with no warning whatsoever:

file1.c
char container;

file2.c
double container[100];

The linker will allocate enough room for the 100 double's.
As to which linker philosophy (the Un*x version hides a lot
of bugs and conflicts) is better is a subjective answer.
