Subject: using an own malloc.c 

I've got a software which uses an own memory manager based on sbrk().
I want to link it together with my programs, which use the malloc(), free()
and realloc() routines. They are, of course, unhappy about calling sbrk()
directly. That's why I wrote own malloc(), free() and realloc() using
the memory manager provided by that software package and added it to that
library. (I remember that this worked in a quite similar case on the same
machine.)

Now I get a error message from the linker

malloc.c(.text+0): multiple definition of `malloc (.text)'
memblock.c(.text+5bc): first seen here

and some similar messages.

The same procedure does work with the same files on an UNIX machine with
SunOS and GNU-C 2.5.8. On PC I'm using DJGPP 1.1m5.

How can I prevent the linker using the malloc() routines from the standard
library and make him using my own instead?

Many thanks,

	Michael Galetzka
