Hi Martin,
I think the guys at MS applied their patches before you applied your PECOFF
stuff, and unfortunately, these patches didn't go back to upstream binutils.
In their patches you can read some interesting comments, i.e. that they only
support WEAK ALIAS, see below.
It seems to me that they have added these WEAK ALIASES to PECOFF in order to
be able to emulate the unix weak symbol behaviour.
So maybe WEAK ALIAS support should be added to ld officially. And this seems
to be compatible with LINK.EXE, too.
The full MS patches are available from MS, or, if you want to, I can send
them to you.
No thanks - I do not want to become contaminated. :-)
Unless the author(s) of the patch submits it (or allows someone to
submit it on their behalf) we cannot accept it into the binutils
sources. Further the author(s) will also need have to assigned the
copyright of the patch to the FSF before it can be accepted.
Mind you, it would be very nice if the patch was officially and properly
submitted.
Cheers
Nick
