If you do a new release, it should contain this patch backport from 3.0 that 
prevents miscompilation of glibc on some platforms in presence of weak symbol 
references. The other glibc supporting patch is Jakub's __dso_handle patch 
which works fine on PPC too.

        * rtl.h (SYMBOL_REF_WEAK): New macro.
        * rtlanal.h (rtx_addr_can_trap): Use it, a weak SYMBOL_REF can trap.
        * varasm.c (make_decl_rtl): Mark SYMBOL_REF weak if necessary.
        * rtl.texi (SYMBOL_REF_WEAK): Document it.
        * gcc.texi: Remove wrong description.
