linker crosstalk on oct files

[Paul Kienzle]

Any idea how to force an oct file to take a symbol from a particular
.o file?  In particular, the following happens on 2.1.57 for Debian:

[crosstalk]# octave -q
octave:1> cross; talk
cross
cross
[crosstalk]# octave -q
octave:1> talk; cross
talk
talk

where both talk and cross call the same function name (crosstalk)
but crosstalk() is defined in different .o files, one of which prints
cross and the other which prints talk.

How do I tell mkoctfile to link statically to the .o files on the 
command
line?

Thanks in advance,

#include <octave/oct.h>
extern "C" void crosstalk();
DEFUN_DLD(cross,args,nargout,"")
{
        crosstalk();
        return octave_value_list();
}

==== talk.cc:

#include <octave/oct.h>
extern "C" void crosstalk();
DEFUN_DLD(talk,args,nargout,"")
{
        crosstalk();
        return octave_value_list();
}

==== cross_c.c:

#include <stdio.h>
void crosstalk() { printf("cross\n"); }

==== talk_c.c:

#include <stdio.h>
void crosstalk() { printf("talk\n"); }
