   I got this with binutils 2.7 under i486-linux:

   # cat foo.c
   #pragma weak foo
   foo ()
   {
   }
   # gcc -c foo.c
   /tmp/cca21074.s: Assembler messages:
   /tmp/cca21074.s:17: Error: foo already declared as global

The assembler has issued this warning for over a year, including the
2.6 release.  I recently (July 5) changed the warning into an error.
Do you receive a warning when you use an earlier version of the
binutils?
