include/coff/
* internal.h (C_AIX_WEAKEXT): New macro.
(C_WEAKEXT): Use the GNU definition in the generic part of the file,
and conditionally reset it to C_AIX_WEAKEXT in the XCOFF part of
the file.
(CSECT_SYM_P): New macro.
* xcoff.h (L_WEAK): Define.
(EXTERN_SYM_P): New macro.
bfd/
* coffcode.h (coff_pointerize_aux_hook): Update CSECT_SYM_P to
check whether a symbol has csect information.
(coff_print_aux): Likewise.
* coff-rs6000.c (_bfd_xcoff_swap_aux_in): Handle auxillary csect
information for C_AIX_WEAKEXT too.
(_bfd_xcoff_swap_aux_out): Likewise.
(xcoff_reloc_type_br): Handle defweak symbols too.
* coff64-rs6000.c (_bfd_xcoff64_swap_aux_in): Handle auxillary csect
information for C_AIX_WEAKEXT too.
(_bfd_xcoff64_swap_aux_out): Likewise.
(xcoff64_reloc_type_br): Handle defweak symbols too.
* coffgen.c (coff_print_symbol): Handle auxillary function
information for C_AIX_WEAKEXT too.
* xcofflink.c (_bfd_xcoff_canonicalize_dynamic_symtab): Set BSF_WEAK
instead of BSF_GLOBAL if the L_WEAK flag is set.
(xcoff_dynamic_definition_p): New function.
(xcoff_link_add_dynamic_symbols): Use it to decide whether ldsym
defines h. Don't change h if ldsym isn't the definition. Otherwise,
always take the symbol class from the ldsym. Use weak bfd symbol
types for weak ldsyms.
(xcoff_link_add_symbols): Use CSECT_SYM_P and EXTERN_SYM_P.
Fix the check for whether a definition is from a shared object.
Allow redefinitions of weak symbols.
(xcoff_link_check_ar_symbols): Use EXTERN_SYM_P.
(xcoff_keep_symbol_p): Likewise.
(bfd_xcoff_size_dynamic_sections): Use CSECT_SYM_P.
(xcoff_link_input_bfd): Use CSECT_SYM_P and EXTERN_SYM_P.
Add .loader entries for C_AIX_WEAKEXT as well as C_EXT symbols,
but mark them as L_WEAK.
(xcoff_write_global_symbol): Treat weak symbols as C_AIX_WEAKEXT
instead of C_EXT if C_AIX_WEAKEXT == C_WEAKEXT.
gas/
* config/tc-ppc.c (ppc_frob_symbol): Add csect information for
C_AIX_WEAKEXT too.
