Your gas changes caused weakref failures for cris-elf, supposedly others too

Either way is fine.  I wouldn't mind if they were not redefinable, but
I wanted to play along with .set et al, that allowed redefinitions.
As long as it's consistent (i.e., .weakref can be a redefinition *and*
can be redefined, or neither of these), I'm open to change.  GCC, the
prime user of this feature, will never issue redefinitions for correct
programs anyway.
