Subject: bug report (I think)


There appears to be a problem using getkey()/getch() in conjunction with
the GRX library. For example, the following bare bones program compiles
correctly with "gcc file.c", but not with "gcc file.c -lgrx":

main()
{
    getch();
    getkey();
}

Instead, it gives the error message:
    getkey.o(.text+24): multiple definition of `getkey (.text)'
    getkey.o(.text+0): first seen here

The same error occurs when compiling with "gcc file.c -lgrx -lc",
but not with "gcc file.c -lc -lgrx".

An examination of LIBC.A and LIBGRX.A with "ar" or "nm" shows that both
libraries have getkey.o modules and getkey() functions. I think this is
causing the behavior described above. Can you shed any more light on this?
