What are you trying to accomplish with the above?
Perhaps you _meant_ to say "cc -g -o CopyAlias CopyAlias.c"?
Basically what's happening is that it's trying to link CopyAlias.o (the
result of 
compiling CopyAlias.c) with the file CopyAlias, which would be the same
thing...hence
_every_ global will show up twice.
