I think you need an up-to-date gas to assemble these. Gas is part of
ginutils now, and I couldn't get gnu ld to work with my 2.0 system; now
that I've got 2.1 I'll need to rebuild my GNU 2.7 tools so I'll be
banging away at this on the weekend. If gas seems to cure the problem
of .weak symbols, I'll mail to this list. You'll need to configure
gcc --with-gas of course.
