Are conflicting types always a problem in C?

Question

I'm getting pains going from Java to C. I'm used to the fact that I have different methods with the same name, but which take different parameters. In C, is this causing problems?

Cell makeCell(int dim, int iterations, Cell parent);

Cell makeCell(Cell parent);

Is there a little work for this problem, or should I just hold my hard upper lip and call one of them _makeCellor makeCell2or something similar funny?
