I am building some legacy code from projects that uses static libraries. Now, I get lots of errors like this:

ld: warning: option -m is obsolete and being ignored
ld: duplicate symbol <function name>

Is there a way to force through the build. From what I can see the "duplicate" functions are identical, it's just the build process thats gone haywire. The project is really large (and a mess of legacy c and c++ code) and I really want to avoid spending hours investigating the build process. Is there a "quick fix"? I really only need to run this program once, so I can live with (some) stability issues.
