Thanks William. I've tried missing out both -fastdispatch and -builtin 
and still get the same result.

As for overloading non-static and static methods - I suppose if the 
language doesn't forbid it then someone will do it. My real world 
example is in the libexiv2 photo metadata library. The 'xmpArrayType' 
method has both.

The static method is of little use so I've used %ignore on it to get 
round the problem.
