Bitcoin compilation error: conflicting declaration

Question

I'm trying to compile the Bitcoin source (1) on Ubuntu and I get:

In file included from bench/data.cpp:10:0:
./bench/data/block413567.raw.h:1:40: error: conflicting declaration ‘const unsigned char benchmark::data::block413567 []’

Internet searches aren't giving me very actionable clues.

I needed to remove stale files from old builds, just run make clean.
