I ran into this too, under HP-UX on 9000 series 300 with X11 R2;
I was running with HPUX 6.2 at the time.
The problem does not occur with HP's ld, only if you use GNU ld.
(I suspect HP's ld is hacked up to not report the duplicate symbol
in this situation.)

Conclusion: the #if in sysdep.c should not depend on X11 release number.
It should depend on defined(HPUX) && defined(USE_GAS)  (or whatever the
spelling of that symbol is).

I eventually gave up trying to compile Emacs with the gcc/gas combination,
because of this and about six other problems.  If anyone has the complete
diffs to make it work, I'd appreciate seeing them (and also hearing whether
the code was enough smaller or faster than with HP's cc to make it worth
recompiling).
