For i386 PE targets, there is an issue with weak symbol support. Since 2.16 will be the first release where these "work," it would be nice if their semantics were fixed for the foreseeable future.
Specifically, while the current PE weak symbol semantics are correct with respect to applicable standards and documentation, they are incompatible with ELF in one particular respect. The feedback I have received indicates that this sort of compatibility may be important. See <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10854052> for details.
I'm waiting for feedback on the mingw-dvlpr list (or here). If it seems the consensus is that this extension should be implemented, I'll submit a patch. The latest I'd submit a patch would be on February 21.
Cheers Nick
