[K42-discussion] libk42sys.o

[Patrick G. Bridges]

So, libk42sys.o pulls weak symbol definitions for a number of  
functions (strcpy.o, for example) from libc.a *if* they're weak  
symbols or data symbols. Is there a particular reason it cannot pull  
strong symbols for these functions out of the library (e.g.,  
conflicts with other versions of the symbols that programs linking  
with libk42sys.o define)?
