The only reason I was reluctant to make the change globally was that
on most platforms (e.g. Linux/x86) the current scheme ain't broke.
For right or wrong, the ABI requires that all vtables with external linkage have "vague linkage". Therefore, I don't think we should change the linkage of vtables on any platform, except those that don't have proper support for weak/COMDAT/etc.

Ok, then I can revise my current patch thusly...

Ok?
