That's at least partly my fault.  ehci-hcd.c now exports four symbols 
that it didn't before.  Since the ChipIdea driver does

	#include "../host/ehci-hcd.c"

it now exports them too, unintentionally.  A quick band-aid fix would 
be to protect those functions with

	#ifndef CHIPIDEA_EHCI

but the real fix is the patch I posted yesterday -- assuming it works 
right.  If we don't hear back from Alex soon, I will post the band-aid 
fix as a temporary stop-gap.
