[Icc-avr] Error message

[John Baraclough]

Hi Bengt,

You got that message because that is exactly what 
you have done. Global variables can only be 
defined in one place in the whole project. 
Everywhere else you must use the 'extern' keyword.

P.S. Last week Richard said he was going away for 
a "couple of years". I hope he only meant a 
"couple of weeks", but he has been very quiet.
