Both things are in. 

Also support of using weak symbols and .gnu.linkonce sections when
specially enabled by one command line option (-mbnu210) as suggested
by Mark Elbrecht about half a year ago. Note that one needs recent 
binutils snapshot to use this feature. This feature is off by default
unless somebody puts it into specs as default (for his own installation
only, of course)

Maybe it's worth to make such binaries of some binutils snapshot
available from directories v2gnu/alphas or v2gnu/beta
