patch I am testing

Sorry for taking so long on this issue - I had busy time and there is no really
good answer to this problem.  C++ require constant variables to be folded, ELF
interposition interpreted in full generality prevents folding of many symbols. 
We behave in C++ way for years and I think it should stay a default, so I think
we can special case the user specified WEAK attribute - i.e. do not give up on
PIC exported symbols nor C++ COMDATs as we already special case COMDAT.

I hope this won't break non-ELF targets, like AIX - will give it a try.
