Details:

Octave version: 3.6.1 gcc4.6.2 (i686-pc-mingw32)

Octave errors out with a multiple definition error when compiling a mex file
with two additional compilation units f.c and g.c, which are located in a
subdirectory:

> mex mex_test.c subdir/f.c subdir/g.c
subdir.o: In function `g':
C:\.../subdir/g.c:1: multiple definition of `g'
subdir.o:C:\.../subdir/g.c:1: first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It seems that Octave creates a subdir.o instead of f.o and g.o, and then it
gets confused.

I tested the same in Matlab 2011b on Linux/Windows and Octave 3.4.3 on Linux,
where it works as expected (no error).

Here are minimal file contents to reproduce the error:

/* file: mex_test.c */
#include "mex.h"
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, mxArray const* prhs[])
{}

/* file: subdir/f.c */
void f() {}

/* file: subdir/g.c */
void g() {}
