--- Comment #1 from Nick Alcock <nick.alcock at oracle dot com> ---
This is a weak symbol reference used for lazily opening CTF in the linking API
(an extremely rarely used and obscure feature, probably overkill, I might well
remove it: looking back I think the original use case for this was rendered
useless by the design of the linker...)
Does MacOS not have weak symbols?
... oh for goodness' sake, it uses a different attribute, weak_import. Not
worth checking for that for this incredibly marginal feature, particularly
given that I don't have a Mac and as far as I know there are none in the
compile farm because Apple is so hostile to virtualization, so I can't test it:
instead, I'll rejig things to use actual knowledge of whether the file is being
linked to libctf-nobfd or not.
Patch coming soon. I will definitely need help testing it...
