It's a mistake... I think the one in s_main.c should go. C code since
the 70s (at least) has allowed duplicate definitions of uninitialzed

It's not C that allows it, it's the linker and the concept of separate
compilation. It's a feature that comes from assembly language. I can't see
that feature really going away with any new standard of the C language
because it's just not something specified by that spec.
(ok, I'm not 100% sure on that)
