These originate in libfpe and sigfpe.h:

> [__trap_fpe_override ]

Conflicts happen when a global variable is declared in more than one place.
For example in a DSO and in the main executable or in two DSO's.

These warnings shouldn't imply there are any functionallity problems. The
only thing they indicate is there will be a little slowness in starting
up your application. If your startup time is acceptable they are not
something you need to worry about very much.

In most respects quickstart works better on 5.3 than on 5.2.
