>Description:
When using '#pragma weak bar = foo', gcc does not output anything, unless
bar is declared.
gcc-2.95 and other compilers do not require such a declaration.
>How-To-Repeat:
		$ cat bug.c
#pragma weak bar = foo

		$ gcc-3.1 bug.c -S -o - 
        .file   "bug.c"
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 3.1.1"

		$ gcc-2.95 bug.c -S -o - 
        .file   "bug.c"
        .version        "01.01"
gcc2_compiled.:
        .weak   bar
        .set    bar,foo
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)"

In order to get the correct output, bar() has to be declared :

		$ cat bug2.c
#pragma weak bar = foo
void bar();

		$ gcc-3.1 bug2.c -S -o -
        .file   "bug2.c"
        .weak   bar				<=== Ok !!!
        .set    bar,foo				<===/
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 3.1.1"

>Fix:
