by I did a man on ld and it said:
-z muldefs Allows multiple symbol definitions. By default,
multiple symbol definitions occurring between
relocatable objects will result in a fatal error
condition. This option suppresses the error con-
dition, and allows the first symbol definition
to be taken.
So I answered my own question. And then figured I should share it with
the masses......
