libgloss/arm/libcfunc.c: alarm [PATCH]

Hi Shaun,

What about libgloss/arm/crt0.S which contains:

	.weak __stack
	.weak FUNCTION (hardware_init_hook)
	.weak FUNCTION (software_init_hook)

Or newlib/libc/misc/init.c:

   extern void (*__preinit_array_start []) (void) __attribute__((weak));

Certainly, I do not see why not.  Would you like to have a go at 
creating a patch ?  :-)

Cheers
