  These are all caused by assembler errors of the form:

  These all show the wrong symbol being selected:

diff tmpdir/foo.out
/home/dk/binutils/binutils-2.16.92/ld/testsuite/ld-elfweak/weak.dat
1c1
< strong foo
---
> weak foo
child process exited abnormally
FAIL: ELF weak func last DSO

diff tmpdir/foo.out
/home/dk/binutils/binutils-2.16.92/ld/testsuite/ld-elfweak/weakdata.dat
1c1
< strong deallocate_foo
---
> weak deallocate_foo
child process exited abnormally
FAIL: ELF weak data last DSO

[ etc. etc. ]
