Looks like the issue is in src/file.h, specifically it defines struct
level_info, and creates a pointer to that struct '*li'.  Since file.h is
included in multiple files, you get the dup symbol error.  Removing the *li
gets it to build fine here; patch that does so is attached.  Simply
removing it seems okay since the variable isn't actually used anywhere.
