[Bug libc/2671] New: On powerpc the order of parameters in weak_alias is significant

["malitzke at metronets dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

The unmodified weak_alias, as shown the the weak_alias.diff patch shown below
gives compilation errors on current snapshot and CVS 2.3.6 and 2.4 glibc. The
unmodifed _equivalent_ forms on i[3456]x86 work fine.


-weak_alias (getsockname, __getsockname)
+weak_alias (__getsockname, getsockname)


The modification was tested on both glibc 2.3.6 and 2.4 snapshots over several
weeks now.

The compilations were attempted with current gcc-4.2.0 and current snapshot
binutils.

The exist a more severe problem farther down in the powerpc glibc compilation
subject of a forthcoming PR.
