I'm not Ralf, but I can see two different reasons:
* not all versions may support the "weak" attribute
* The Intel C compiler for Linux is supposed to be able to compile
the Linux kernel. New versions the Linux kernel do use weak
symbols (possibly with this syntax) -- so maybe the Intel
compiler would too.
The second is somewhat far-fetched. Support for #pragma weak ... and
_Pragma("weak", ...) is likelier.
