It's a mistake... I think the one in s_main.c should go. C code since the 70s (at least) has allowed duplicate definitions of uninitialzed data, but everyone knows it's wrong :)
It's not C that allows it, it's the linker and the concept of separate compilation. It's a feature that comes from assembly language. I can't see that feature really going away with any new standard of the C language because it's just not something specified by that spec.
(ok, I'm not 100% sure on that)
