Latest mbed-dev doesn't link
I'm getting a ton of linker errors when I try to use the latest version of mbed-dev on the online compiler. Anyone have any ideas?
NOTE: The site isn't letting me add the error log to this post because it "doesn't look like useful content"???

The problem is not bound to a specific target. The linking errors occur with all targets, when compiling with mbed-dev. The problem is that in mbed-dev in folder "common" there are several double definitions. A lot of newer files with mbed_ suffix were added but the corresponding older files (without mbed_ suffix) were not removed accordingly, so the same definitions are in both files. The files in question are:
gpio.c and mbed_gpio.c assert.c and mbed_assert.c semihost_api.c and mbed_semihost_api.c wait_api.c and mbed_wait_api.c error.c and mbed_error.c ticker_api.c and mbed_ticker_api.c us_ticker_api.c and mbed_us_ticker_api.c board.c and mbed_board.c pinmap_common.c and mbed_pinmap_common.c rtc_time.c and mbed_rtc_time.c
