It has nothing to do with libgfortran actually, libgfortran only ever

The reason why weakref attribute has been added is primarily libstdc++,
see PR4372, because unlike libgfortran or libobjc, libstdc++ installed
headers were using #pragma weak on all pthread_* functions it wanted
to use.
But as mentioned the feature was not thought through. It has not been
tested
that well (or at all) with stuff like IMA or templates.
I still support a reverting of the weakref patch as it was put way too
late
for 4.1 (stage 3 is not a good idea for a new feature).
