apoligies in advance for addressing the actual question.

the default CFLAGS were changed recently on sources.  the -T flag was added to the
defaults.  this adds type signatures to .$O files.  without -T type signatures are left
blank.  the linker expects either all the signatures for a particular symbol to match
or to be blank.

incompatable signatures happen when the same external symbol is declared with
different types in different source files.  the linker is picky.  "uint" and "int" are not
compatable.
