Summary0002632: Duplicate definition of global variable in nsgenbind
DescriptionGlobal variable errtxt is defined in two separate files. This is a minor C standard conformance issue, and causes the build to fail with a duplicate symbol error when CFLAGS includes "-fno-common". The following patch fixes the issue by making the variables static.
