Check that there's no conflict between this name and another procudure or data name,
especially one which might be aliased if the assembler/optimzer/linker is truncating
externals to less than n-characters (a guess).

The mips compiler seems to generate such errors when symbols show up in a different
segment than expected.  Redefinitions of "end" are a classic example.
