    Introducing the "linker_weak" linkage type. This will be used for Objective-C · 1767723d
    Bill Wendling authored
    metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the linker will
    remove upon final linkage. For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is
    defined like this:
    
           .globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
           .weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
           .section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
           .align 3
    l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
            .quad   _objc_msgSend_fixup
            .quad   L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
    
    This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
    the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
