I think the problem is that the binary format of the Win32 executables=20
doesn't allow for globally weak symbols. That's how g++ does on ELF=20
platforms: it generates several copies of the same symbol, all with weak=20
linkage. When the program is loaded, all relocations will point to the=20
same copy.
