Re: static linking, libc multiple definitions

It looks like these two are defined in rpc_com.h, so they are declared and defined in multiple compilation units.  That's not actually wrong (they'll have common linkage and be merged), but it's discouraged because it can mask other errors.  Can you see if this patch fixes it for you?
