[OT] how does ELF record file scope things?

[Michael Hennebry <hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

fred.c:
static void sfunc(int *p) { *p=1; }
static int x;

void fred(void)
{
... sfunc(&x); ...
}


greg.c:
static void sfunc(int *p) { *p=2; }
static int x;

void greg(void)
{
... sfunc(&x); ...
}

Once the object files from fred.c and greg.c are linked,
how does ELF distinguish the sfunc's and the x's?
I've been trying to RTFM, but it hasn't helped?
