--- Comment #7 from Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella at linaro dot org> ---
My understanding is all names reserved for standard conformance (POSIX, C,
etc.) are exported as strong alias since they are not expected to be
overridden. All implementation defined (such as posix_fadvise64) or extension
(for instance memrchr) are exported as weak symbols, so a program which does
not want to actually use its extension can provided its own if required.
