What is a weak symbol? One that the linker won't complain about if it's
duplicated? Won't that just get the code to compile while creating a biger
problem, namely massive code bloat from duplicate code?
As for feasible, of course it is feasible. If it can be done on Linux it
can be done on DOS, or any other platform, by the Church-Turing thesis.
