The file arparse.c should not be defining a main() function.  So this is 
the problem.

Things to check:  Are you using an old version of yacc or bison to builr 
arparse.c ?  (Unlikely, but possible)

Can you find out where the definition of main() in arparse.c comes from ?
What does the start of your arparse.c file look like ?  For example I 
have this:

   /*  A Bison parser, made from 
/sources/binutils/current/binutils/arparse.y
   by  GNU Bison version 1.25
    */

  #define YYBISON 1  /* Identify Bison output.  */

  #define	NEWLINE	258
  #define	VERBOSE	259

Cheers
