I don't think it is the linker's fault. To me it makes no sense to
have a weak symbol and a strong symbol of the same name in the same
library.
I deleted the weak definitions in the _THREAD_SAFE PRSYSCALL in
lib/libc/i386/SYS.h and the problem goes away. I don't understand why
Jason needed to add them in the first place.
