I suppose it could. In order to do drop a linkonce section, it would
need to determine that all weak symbols are already provided
elsewhere. This is not how linkonce currently works: the linker drops
a linkonce section if there is a duplicate of the entire section (i.e
a section with the same name). When dropping a section, it doesn't care
what symbols it looses.

Martin
