standard question: function overload

Hi,

I have three modules of the following type,

module spt_it_i1
use precision,  only: sp, dp, i4b, i2b, lgt, iw => i1b
use edt_lscan, only: edt4
use int_ext_pol, only: hunt
use neighbours, only: ijk
use random, only: ran2
use util_args,  only: assert
use util_error, only: error
implicit none
logical(lgt), parameter :: output = .true.
integer(i4b), allocatable, save :: hist(:)
integer(iw),  allocatable, save :: rad2(:)
contains
include "spt_it.i90"
end module spt_it_i1

where iw points to 1,2,4 byte integer types (replace i1 by i2, i4 in the
module). The include statement provides two functions from each of these
modules, named spt_2d and spt_3d, thus each of these functions is now
available as 1,2,4 byte integer type.

I now use these three modules to generate a publicly accessible function
as follows:

module spt_it
use precision
use util_args, only: assert
use spt_it_i1, only: spt_2d_i1 => spt_2d, spt_3d_i1 => spt_3d
use spt_it_i2, only: spt_2d_i2 => spt_2d, spt_3d_i2 => spt_3d
use spt_it_i4, only: spt_2d_i4 => spt_2d, spt_3d_i4 => spt_3d
implicit none
private
public spt
interface spt
module procedure spt_2d_i1 , spt_3d_i1
module procedure spt_2d_i2 , spt_3d_i2
module procedure spt_2d_i4 , spt_3d_i4
end interface
contains
...
end module spt_it

This used to work fine on several platforms. Now I get with Intel8,
Intel8.1, Intel9 on altix:

/opt/intel-fc/9.0.015/bin/ifort -o perm.ia64 -O2  sv_tensor.o

that is, it fails on the link step?

Any help appretiated.

Without seeing a complete source, it's hard to know what the problem is.
