Great!

Thinking about gas, there were some modifications completed about 2000-10-07
that may have improved the weak behaviour.  Especially, see patch dated
2000-09-28 by Alan Modra to config/tc-hppa.c.  Make sure your binutils
has these changes in it.  It is possible that gas prior to this didn't
emit relocation data for weak procedure calls if it thought it could 
calculate the branch offset itself.
