Probably older versions of postfix fails as well (I haven't tried). This is caused by a change in GCC 10 from -fcommon to -fno-common [1]: GCC now defaults to -fno-common. As a result, global variable accesses are more efficient on various targets. In C, global variables with multiple tentative definitions now result in linker errors. With -fcommon such definitions are silently merged during linking. If compiling with -fcommon it builds OK thanks & regards Jaroslav [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/changes.html
