[Ecls-list] Build-shared-library gives multiple definitions error

I'm running ECL on Mac OS X 10.4.7 and having trouble with the  
c:build-shared-library command.  Specifically, the linker (ld) fails  
because it encounters multiple definitions of the _init_* routine.

I tested it with a simple hello world program, and it seems the  
object file resulting from compile-file and the intermediate file  
that c:build-shared-library create both contains the symbol  
_init_ECL_HELLO.  I'm doing (compile-file "ecl-hello" :system-p t)  
first, then (c:build-shared-library "libecl-hello.dylib" :lisp-files  
'("ecl-hello")) --- am I doing this incorrectly?  Otherwise, how  
might I fix this problem?  Thanks in advance for any input.


Here are the details.  I have a file, ecl-hello.lisp, with the  
following:
(defun hello ()
   (print "Hello world!"))


Then, I run ecl in the file's directory and compile the file to a .o  
file:
 > (compile-file "ecl-hello" :system-p t)
;;; ...

So far so good.  Then, I get the error when I do:

hello"))
