No, in fact the library function was being used and the linker was dead 
stripping the function in the .c file.  The desired behavior is for the 
.c function to override the library version.

I took Adriaan's advice and I checked the link order list.  It turned 
out that the .c file was the last item in the list since it was recently 
added to the project.  Moving it ahead of the libraries fixed the 
problem.  (Thanks, Adriaan!)  Upon reading your message I take it that 
it should not work this way?
