I am writing a driver and am having problems compiling it whenever I reference
a routine from the c library.  I compile the driver modules into one using
ld -x -r & then attempt to compile that module into the kernel.  Whenever I
do, I receive a "Duplicate symbol free in libc.a(malloc.o)" error.  

I know this has something to do w/how archive libraries are linked , but
don't know how to avoid it.  I'd greatly appreciate if someone could help
me out.
