GNU ld can handle several definitions of the same weak symbol, and
unless there is a strong definition of it, it just picks the first
weak definition encountered.

For each of the weak definitions, GNU tools produce a regular symbol
named .weak.<weaksymbol>.<othersymbol>, where the other symbol name is
another symbol defined close by.

This can't be reproduced by assembling with llvm-mc, as llvm-mc always
produces similar regular symbols named .weak.<weaksymbol>.default.

The bundled object files can be produced from test code that looks like
this:

$ cat gnu-weak.c
void weakfunc(void) __attribute__((weak));
void otherfunc(void);

__attribute__((weak)) void weakfunc() {
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    otherfunc();
    weakfunc();
    return 0;
}
void mainCRTStartup(void) {
    main(0, (char**)0);
}
void __main(void) {
}

$ cat gnu-weak2.c
void weakfunc(void) __attribute__((weak));

__attribute__((weak)) void weakfunc() {
}

void otherfunc(void) {
}
