- Subject: Prevent inlining of weak hidden symbols.
This patch fixes a wrong-code bug in the compilation of gPXE. gPXE has
a weak symbol called pxe_menu_boot whose default implementation is
defined in the same file as (one of?) the callers. However, this
implementation can be overridden by earlier objects on the link line.
gPXE has only a single module -- there's no symbol preemption --
so as an optimisation, it also marks every symbol as hidden.
This causes GCC to think it can inline pxe_menu_boot, something
it wouldn't do for default-visiblity weak symbols.
The problem is that our notion of "replaceability" is based on whether
the definition binds locally to the current _module_, not to the current
TU. That's fine for most cases, but not for weak symbols.
Bootstrapped & regression-tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. OK to install?
