I suspect this would take quite a bit of doing.  In addition to being 
aliases, weak symbols are also supposed to be "weak".  That is, if 
locally controlled source redefines the symbol, that local symbol is 
supposed to override the global one.  I think this is really only used 
in situations such as LD_PRELOAD, where one library's functions are 
supposed to override the system's libraries without having to relink 
against that other lib.

Cheers,
