You mean 'backup-rename', right?

Given the description of these two modules, it should be possible for a
program to use one, or the other, or both.

This is not expected, because usually the .o files are collected in a .a file,
from which one of the two backupfile.o will be picked, and it does not matter
which one since they are identical.

Please describe your situation:
  - operating system?
  - building what kind of library or binary in which way?
  - which compiler: $CC = ? $CFLAGS = ? $CPPFLAGS = ? $LDFLAGS = ?
  - which linker is being used by the compiler?,
and show the precise error message log.
