My sense is the situation will be similar to hppa64-hpux11. Weak is partially supported in that calls to a weak function resolve to a single instance. However, undefined weak is not really supported. While the linker errors can be overridden, the dynamic linker will object to applications with undefined weak symbols. We worked around this with a libgcc_stub.a library and a linker script. HP ld also probably leaves all the instances of weak linkonce functions contributing to bloat.
