Hi Leonard,

Thanks for taking the time to put this email together. I think the
multiple definitions of abgcdp are okay in this case, but I will check
with the developers to see if this is redundant, or else if we need to
rename one of the functions.  This doesn't have to do with underscores
in this case.

It is puzzling as to why you are seeing this macro being set. This
could happen if the Makefiles didn't get remade properly, but if you
are starting with a clean build, then this shouldn't be an issue.

Can you send me your full make-output file, and also attach the LINUX
config file you are using as a separate attachment?

Thanks,
