Hi!

This is a (non-direct :-) consequence of what was commented in a previous 
message in this list: when you link twice to the same library, you sure have 
link problems, due to the messing of internal ld tables.

You don't link twice to the same library, but to two different libraries that 
have definitions of the same function.  

I was able to link and run normally a program that used GetKeyState().  I used 
only libuser32.a.  Here are my command lines:
	gcc -c KeyState.c
	gcc    KeyState.o -o KeyState.exe -luser32


Best regards,
