Attached is a testcase (t1.c and t2.c):
t1.c contains weak function f().
t2.c contains non-weak function f().

hppa-linux-gcc -c t1.c t2.c
hppa-linux-ld -r -o all.o t1.o t2.o

hppa-linux-readelf -s t1.o gives:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 10 entries:
    Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
      6: 00000000    28 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 a
      7: 0000001c    32 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT    1 f
      8: 0000003c    28 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 z
      9: 00000058    80 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 main

hppa-linux-readelf -s t2.o  gives:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 7 entries:
    Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
      6: 00000000    32 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 f

hppa-linux-readelf -s all.o  gives:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 11 entries:
    Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
      7: 00000000    32 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    3 f

     10: 00000000    28 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 a


hppa-linux-readelf -u all.o  gives:
Unwind section '.PARISC.unwind' at offset 0xfc contains 5 entries:

<f>: [0x0-0x38]
         Entry_GR=1 Save_SP Total_frame_size=8

Function f() is listed twice and with different lengths.
Sadly in this example f() starts at offset 0. I think if you tweak
the example, try to see what you get when the start of f() is not zero.
