I'm seeing the same result on x86 but this does not mean we have to
handle this.  Weak symbol handling is misdesigned (or better: cannot
actually be done correctly).  User-level programs should not use it
and since we haven't seen any complain about this there are hopefully
no users.

The only thing which is important now is getting the startup code
working.  Forget about this test case.

Also: what has this problem actually to do with the zlib library?  I
cannot find a use of weak in the zlib sources.  So the problem with it
is also the startup code?
