The warning is stating that the symbol was attempted to be redefined from
one type to another, not that it was successful, so I don't think this
patch actually helps make anything clearer. (gcc warns when a symbol is
redefined by saying "redefintion of `blah`".) Perhaps include that the
redefinition was ignored?
