So the semantics you want are that if A declares a weak symbol S, and
B exports a (presumably non-weak) symbol S, then A depends on B?

I think that's right, given that that is what would happen if A and B
were builtin.

Now, what does Dave think about using weak symbols?  Or is this
Alpha-specific?

Applied,
Rusty.
