Re: An ELF linker bug?

   Here is a simple test. "f1" should print out "foo". Under UnixWare,
   it worked fine. But gas-950822 failed to pick up the strong "foo".
   Also Solaris 2.3 got it wrong.

I think this case is undefined.  You are defining a symbol twice in an
archive.  It does not matter that one definition is weak and one is
normal.  A weak definition is pulled in from an archive just as a
normal one is.  This case is equivalent to defining the same symbol in
two different object files and including them both in an archive: you
can not predict which object file will be included in the final link.
