[usama-makhzoum]

i have debian unstable distribution installed as chroot in my tablet. cloned master and configured it, then i faced this compilation errors when trying to make:

i played a little with some source files and removed extern modifiers in some header files to keep gcc going. it is working after this hack but i wonder is it related only to gnu gcc ?

It used to rely on gcc's merging of multiple definitions into a single one, which newer gcc no longer allows. I think this was fixed by one of @gameblabla's recent changes.
