Ho humm. Looks like a sparse rule might be in order. These are just from
my (smallish) personal config. I haven't checked them all, but I did check
the first two, and yes, sparse did get it right.

I bet there are others that I don't see just because I don't compile the
code.
The appended trial sparse diff is against sparse -git as of a couple of
days ago if anybody wants to run it themselves.
The _logical_ fix would be to add "noinline" to the definition of
"__weak", but that's reported not to help. I think the bug may be in the
assembler that pre-links the call if it sees it in file scope. Or maybe
gcc doesn't honor noinline for empty functions. Whatever.
Regardless, it's a damn pain.
