: BTW -- what was the resolution of the problem when you had a weak symbol
: definition and a reference to the weak symbol in the same file?
It looks like it is a weakness <g> of the PA linker. The doc that you
sent me talks about the limitations of secondary_def use. It basically
says that a file that defines a weak symbol can't reference it. Well,
that's my interpretation, anyway.
