See http://www.caldera.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.symtab.html

"When the link editor searches archive libraries [see ``Archive File''
in Chapter 7], it extracts archive members that contain definitions of
undefined global symbols. The member's definition may be either a global
or a weak symbol. **The link editor does not extract archive members to
resolve undefined weak symbols.** Unresolved weak symbols have a zero
value."
