mingw32 does not support weak definitions, only "weak externals" As documented
in ld.info:
_weak externals_
The Windows object format, PE, specifies a form of weak symbols
called weak externals. When a weak symbol is linked and the
symbol is not defined, the weak symbol becomes an alias for some
other symbol. There are three variants of weak externals:
* Definition is searched for in objects and libraries,
historically called lazy externals.
* Definition is searched for only in other objects, not in
libraries. This form is not presently implemented.
* No search; the symbol is an alias. This form is not presently
implemented.
As a GNU extension, weak symbols that do not specify an alternate
symbol are supported. If the symbol is undefined when linking,
the symbol uses a default value.
