"Different lengths for the symbol" means there are two, different 
colliding symbols somewhere inside of *.o's. They usually happens due to 
duplicate definitions of a symbol.

In C, this normally only happen with improperly implemented or missing 
declarations of symbols, in asm there are many other possibilities for 
causes.
