Hmm, can you give me a hint on how one is supposed to
define a weak symbol? This is all rather new to me.

I am sorry, I do not grasp this sentence in the given context.
The problem is not reduction, at least not AFAICS. mklibs is not
supposed to reduce /lib/brltty/lib*.so. It only checks that
all referenced symbols are actually defined somewhere (in a library),
which fails since the missing symbol is actually defined in
the executable that loads the lib.
