While trying to find a nice solution for generating interrupt vector tables on ARM, I found that the usually employed solution is to generate weak references to symbols, that are initialized to a single handler. This way an application can override the weak reference, by declaring a new symbol with the same name. While it's possible to do that currently by using some external assembler code, I think a simpler solution could be made by using the weakexternal directive. The infrastructure is already there, but it's used in a slightly different way.
How is it normally done in C? At first sight, using the weakexternal directive to /define/ symbols seems like a wrong approach.
