Thanks for testing, Paul.
I think we need an additional configure test which disables VT if
a) weak symbol support is disabled/not available
- or more precise -
b) configuring on PPC/Mac10.4 and the used GNU compiler version is older or
equal to 4.0.1
I prefer to option b) because VT (i.e. PMPI) should also work without weak
symbol support (at least it does on my laptop with gcc 4.4.3 and '--disable-
weak-symbols'). On the other hand, in the most cases the compiler supports
weak symbols, so option a) would also work, unless weak symbol support is
disabled by the configure option '--disable-weak-symbols'.
Jeff, what's your opinion?
