I tend to agree with you...  I don't remember every clause of the
standard, but defining a variable more than once seems to be clearly
wrong to me...  And what bugs me the most is that most of type
information is gone by the time ld gets to see those symbols, so ld
has no way to know if the duplicate variable definitions are of the
same type...
