when i use -flto "weak symbol" are converted to "t". 

I really don't know whether this is bug or expected behavior, because in GCC
Source i am not able to find the code for this conversion.

@akhilesh-ubuntu:~/akhilesh/lto$ cat myapp.c 
#include <stdio.h>

int __attribute__((weak)) power(int x);

int power(int x)
{
  return x*x;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("power() = %d\n", power(atoi(argv[1])));
  return 0;
