Neat.  Seems that the scsi build system is linking together two copies of
drivers/scsi/aha152x.o.  One via drivers/scsi/aha152x.o directly and the
other via drivers/scsi/pcmcia/built-in.o.

Please send the .config.

I'm looking suspiciously at this, from git-scsi-misc:

commit 8ae732a91df051aba6820068a47b631a06599d84
Author: Tejun Heo <htejun@...il.com>
Date:   Fri Dec 7 22:36:23 2007 +0900

    [SCSI] make pcmcia directory use obj-y|m instead of subdir-y|m
    
    subdir-y|m isn't supposed to contain modules or built-in components.
    Change subdir-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA) to obj-$(CONFIG_PCMCIA).
