Actually, hpux can support weak symbols.  Our tools just don't hand it yet.

In SOM (the native object format for hps) they're usually called secondary
definitions or something like that.  To support them we'd just need a little
compiler, assembler & bfd work.  It would be a nice little project for someone
that wants to learn a little about bfd :-)
