Jon,

It sounds the build was restarted at some point without doing a 
"make clean" such that you got a "main" routine in a program .o
file added into one of the archives.

The best way to clear this up is to:
cd $NAWIPS
make distclean   <-- to remove all the libraries in $GEMLIB
make all install

if your build stops  in the middle of a build, you should
run "make clean" before restarting. This will remove
any .o files in the build tree.
