the manual says: "Not all target machines support this attribute".
All ELF targets will have it. All targets using GNU as as the system
assembler will have it. All others are suspect. Just doing a quick
grep, notable exceptions to this rule are cygwin and AIX.
I see the doc uses weak alias as an example of how to use the alias
attribute. Weak alias in an entirely different matter. Targets which
have alias support do not necessarily have weak alias support. But you
can assume that ELF targets will have it.
