Subject: How to enable weak symbols in egcs

I keep forgetting to mention how to enable weak symbols and the 
improved C++ template support that comes with it. Add this snippet to 
gcc/config/i386/go32.h in egcs 1.1.2 or to gcc/config/i386/djgpp.h in the 
current egcs snapshot then make the compiler as usual. You will also 
need the binaries produced by making the binutils 2.10 snapshot in 
order to make use of weak symbol support.

/* This is how we tell the assembler that a symbol is weak.  */
#define ASM_WEAKEN_LABEL(FILE,NAME) \
  do { fputs ("\t.weak\t", FILE); assemble_name (FILE, NAME); \
       fputc ('\n', FILE); } while (0)
