That's the other thing.  I kind of think that in my git tree I reworked
things so that it simply wasn't a problem, possibly by just getting rid
of all of the weak functions, and the number of them that were needed.
I think it was the case that it was always:
- The function used was the weak one.
- The non-weak version was an "x86'ism" and the same on i386/x86_64/ia64
for just about everything.
