Note, when I tried this on August 16th, 2012, the current head of binutils seems broken (the archiver segfaults), but the 2_21 branch builds it fine on my Linux system with a target of powerpc64-linux and additional targets of powerpc-linux. Obviously the compiler should do something more appropriate if the assembler does not support .weak symbols.
