Hi,

the attached patch improves the instructions to generate when branching to weak symbols.

Rather than jumping to the next instruction, NOPs are generated, and selected according to the architecture.

Please let me know if OK to commit.

Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot to include a change to arm-elf.exp in order to run the new test case:
