It's trying to declare a hidden symbol with a path name.

Path names should not become symbol names, so I suspect a that this file 
is generated, and this generation step does not adequately process the 
input data (e.g. because it uses objdump or nm output to get a list of 
symbols, and then uses a regex to filter them, and the regex for some 
reason also matches something it shouldn't.

(Disclaimer: I haven't actually looked at what is happening here, but 
that sounds like the most plausible explanation)
