c++ static object initialization

["Joel W. Reed" <jreed at support dot ddiworld dot com>]

i have two .so files each with a static object that is named
the same. this seems to confuse gcc/ld/something as one .so
file is incorrectly using the object from the other .so file.

this problem went away if i put one of the objects in one
of the .so files in its own separate namespace.

is this a known problem? am i just doing something wrong?
have i explained this well enough...

ps. code in question

each .so file has a config.cpp with

	config_impl config::_impl;

where config is a class

class config
{
	//SNIP
        private: static config_impl _impl; 
};
