For that to work, the loader would have to remember that it had seen an
unresolved weak reference to those symbols in the GOT, then go back and
fill in the appropriate entries once it noticed that an object
containing those symbols had been loaded.  As far as I know, it doesn't
do that.  (If it did, I think you could easily get into sticky
situations when objects were later unloaded.)
