Instead of treating weak references as a single level of indirection, I think you have to treat them as a single overridable interface.  In a dynamically-linked application, we might try to perform an override using the LD_PRELOAD feature. But in a statically-linked application we have to do it differently.  The overriding archive must be named in full, and it must be named as an object to be linked instead of a library to be searched.  Furthermore, an interface can have only one override that ends up in the linked application.
Yes, you can only have one strong implementation, otherwise you get multiple definition errors.

I have only ever considered weak references as an overridable interface within a user's application and not layered within RTEMS itself. I am not sure about automatic indirection within an archive.

In the case of different heap allocators why not have confdefs.h select the one we want and manage the indirection with a const table of pointers?
