Actually that was AG's suggestion. I think an easy test can be done with
AC_TRY_LINK on the following:
extern int x __attribute__ ((weak));
int main() { return x; }

I think it is still necessary for any COFF or a.out targets. But I 
was rushed when I posted it. I was going to write a proper changelog and
send it to gcc-patches when I got around to building the trunk again (it's
not really important for 3.0).
