It would required for C++ since it emits weak symbols if support is detected 
when configuring. I may be wrong, but C shouldn't require 2.10 because it 
doesn't emit weak symbols unless you explicitly ask it to with 
'__attribute__((weak))'.

> Are we sure that this is the only implication of this removal?

Yes, because it was added to handle bnu 2.10 at a time when a release seemed 
far off. Thankfully, someone stepped in to handle releases when Ian 
said he couldn't.
