multiple definition error from dl-addr.c with addition of printf, in glibc compilation

[solmac john]

Hi All,

in glibc-2.13/nptl/sigaction.c, i just put a simple printf("test\n"); and
my glibc compilation fails. Just adding a printf gives me multiple
definitions of _itoa from dl-addr.c and i have no idea why. Can any body
please tell me why is this happening and possible solution. For better
clarity here is the error:

Error msg :-

test/glibc-build/libc_pic.a(_itoa.os): In function `_itoa':
test/glibc-2.13/stdio-common/_itoa.c:215: multiple definition of `_itoa'

Thanks,
