Ok, this problem seems to still persist in 2.6.23-rc8-mm2. It seems
we have three options from here:
1) update the compiler support list to exclude these compilers, or
2) back this change out, or
3) switch to the version not using __weak.
The latter seems to be the least intrusive change. As no-one closer
to the problem is stepping up to make the decision I will propose
we go with the third option here.
