hidden_weak implementation

Hello all,

I've been having some problems with compiling uClibc (fairly recent
snapshot). The error message is:

libc/sysdeps/linux/common/__syscall_fcntl.c:53: weak declaration of
`__EI_fcntl' must precede definition

I am using an old compiler (gcc 2.95.2). Is it possible to get rejig
the implementation of hidden_weak to make it work? I tried the
following:

#  define hidden_weak(name)             hidden_weak1(name,__GI_##name)
#  define hidden_weak1(name, local) \
   extern __typeof (name) __EI_##name  __asm__(__hidden_asmname (#name)) __attr\
ibute__((weak, alias (__hidden_asmname1 (,#local))));

But I'm not sure if it is equivalent.
