According to documentation [1], the -weak option is meaningful for some
specific cases on AIX and cygwin. We put fake dlopen='' and dlpreopen=''
in .la files anyway, and do not have static arches anymore. Thus I
do not see any reason to actually implement this option. But having
it being recognized helps at least xine-lib to build.
Since no compilers/linkers do support -weak, this is a safe tweak. Okay?
