--- Comment #1 from gee <jojelino at gmail dot com> 2012-08-18 14:53:53 UTC --- bug 53518 also has this problem. reference type in method argument causes symbol reference of construction vtable for ***. so, construction vtable for * symbol must not be marked as weak in PE target. since PE target cannot handle weak symbol. or, just reverting the problematic commit would be good.
