I think so too, but this is a gray area.  The handling of weak symbols
isn't fully defined in the gABI ELF spec, so you could make a case for
all undefined weaks being resolved to zero at link time.  In any case,
we ought to be consistent in our handling of undefined weaks.  Since
we currently make them dynamic in other cases, I think we should here
too.
