Try again:

  LD      drivers/net/built-in.o
drivers/net/8390p.o: In function `ei_get_stats':
(.text+0x1050): multiple definition of `ei_get_stats'
drivers/net/8390.o:(.text+0xe20): first defined here
drivers/net/8390p.o: In function `ei_start_xmit':
(.text+0x1100): multiple definition of `ei_start_xmit'
drivers/net/8390.o:(.text+0xef0): first defined here
drivers/net/8390p.o: In function `ei_tx_timeout':
(.text+0xec0): multiple definition of `ei_tx_timeout'
drivers/net/8390.o:(.text+0xce0): first defined here
drivers/net/8390p.o: In function `ei_set_multicast_list':
(.text+0x1000): multiple definition of `ei_set_multicast_list'
drivers/net/8390.o:(.text+0xea0): first defined here
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/built-in.o] Error 1

and none of these functions is static in lib8390.c.
