...and if he changes

	GtkWidget           *popup_menu_object;

to

	extern GtkWidget    *popup_menu_object;

in "gtk/menu.h", and put

	GtkWidget           *popup_menu_object;

into "gtk/main.c", do the warnings go away?

(If so, then he probably has a compiler that, for

	GtkWidget           *popup_menu_object;

generates an external definition rather than an external reference, and
a linker that warns about multiple external definitions but treats them
as UNIX-style common definitions.)
