Re: Your gas changes caused weakref failures for cris-elf,supposedly others too

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich at novell dot com>]

Hmm, interesting. Which way to fix this actually depends on the
intentions with weak references - if they're supposed to be
re-definable, then assign_symbol() or s_weakref() would need to take
care of this. If not, the test is broken. Alexandre, can you clarify the
intentions?

Thanks, Jan

My autotester, building for "--target=cris-axis-elf" caught
these failures:
