What do you mean by "attribute .weak doesn't work" ?

Well, if you don't know, then don't ask me, ask your compiler - he
knows how to do this.
For example, common/cmd_boot.c has this code snippet right at the
beginning:
30
31 /* Allow ports to override the default behavior */
32 __attribute__((weak))
33 unsigned long do_go_exec (ulong (*entry)(int, char *[]), int argc, char
*argv[])
34 {
35 return entry (argc, argv);
36 }
Compile this with -S option, and you get this:
12 .Ltext0:
13 .align 2
14 .weak do_go_exec
15 .type do_go_exec, @function
16 do_go_exec:
17 .LFB87:
18 .file 1 "cmd_boot.c"
19 .loc 1 34 0
20 .LVL0:
21 mflr 0
22 .LCFI0:
23 stwu 1,-16(1)
...
So to me it seems as if the attribute .weak is supposed to work just fine.
What exactly is not working for you?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
