COFF weak symbols


Greetings,

I'm interested have added or in adding an extension to COFF (or at 
least DJGPP's COFF) to have weak symbols. I've already added 
the .weak directive to the Oct 1st snapshot, but I wanted to check 
and see how you wanted me proceed (or even if I should 
proceed). I'm not an object file expert, but I know just enough to 
know I want weak symbols. The linker already seems to support 
weak symbols, it would just be a matter of deciding where in the 
symbol record to store the weak symbol bit (though I have an idea).

I tried e-mailing Ian but he seems to be on vacation.

Mark
