I have two  files that both  contain definitions for   for  funcs that
support a "paramlist" feature. I also have about 30 or  60 other files
that access   these routines. I compile  with  gdb -g -O -traditional,
and when I ld them together with gcc-ld, I get:

All but 4 of the above lines are bolderdash. Nonsense. Lies.  The only
good messages were the ones with the line numbers.

What's going on? If I get any multiply defined error, I get a thousand
messages covering all the references besides the defs.
