You want to change existing behaviour, not me. The Solaris and HP-UX guys
already stated what they do, and are unlikely to want to change behaviour.
I don't think we can change the gABI to be more explicit about weak
symbols (not the least because Solaris and HP-UX already differ in the
details), so I think we're left with discussing it here.
Ciao,
