C Compiler generates erroneous code when thing and configuration have the same name

[brice-morin]

Though it might not be recommended to have a configuration and a thing having the same name, this is valid and should be supported by all compiler. The C compiler currently does not support that feature and generates a long list of error on make

@Lyadis is that still an issue?

[nharrand]

Yes it is. But i'm on it.

[nharrand]

Ok, it should work now, at least with the latest version of the compiler.
