>Environment:
System: SunOS sunc1185 5.6 Generic_105181-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
Architecture: sun4

	
host: sparc-sun-solaris2.6
build: sparc-sun-solaris2.6
target: sparc-sun-solaris2.6
configured with: ../configure --prefix=/home/db693/tstgnu
>Description:
	
Prior versions of gcc used to generate the appropriate weak
symbol `main' for the following code snippet:

>How-To-Repeat:
	

in a file weak.c:

static int spliced_main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  return 1;
}

#pragma weak main = sp_spliced_main
int sp_spliced_main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  return spliced_main (argc, argv);
}
EOF

compile with:
gcc weak.c -o weak
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
main                                /home/db693/tstgnu/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/3.1/crt1.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to weak
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


>Fix:
	
Probably could use `weak' attribute?
