Ditto here, in spades.

I _still_ don't believe it, and now I can see your problem (first rule
of reporting bugs: _always_ cut and paste the exact problem!)

Yes, "multiple compilations". I certainly believe that.
Allow me to remove the extraneous -I and -D options from your compile
line, and it should be obvious what the problem is:
sl> gcc -Wall -O2 LinuxMachineDefines -c FvwmButtons.c -o FvwmButtons.o
DOH! You appear to be trying to compile two files (LinuxMachineDefines
and FvwmButtons.c) into one object file (FvwmButtons.o). Not gonna
happen!
PS. Can't FVWM use config.h or something instead of providing all those
-D options on the compile line? It's most annoying to read :)
