This is work-in-progress, I have nearly finished stealing the NetBSD 
support for .weak in gas and ld.  The current holdup is that our rtld is 
very different to theirs now due to the massive speedups John Polstra did, 
and neither support BIND_WEAK resolution on shared objects.  gas is pretty 
much complete, as is ld, once I've figured out which bits to not attempt 
to merge.

Cheers,
