Weak symbols can excess 255 chars with their $w$ while the references will not, thus causing the linking to fail. What needs doing is to standardize the length of the $w$ suffix (only using timestamp, prefering TSC) and limit standard symbols (i.e. non-weak) and symbol references to a length where they will be trunkated when the weak ones will be. $w$<64-bit hex#> == 3+16, so the limit should be dropped from 255 to 236." defect closed normal libc-0.6 emx 0.6 normal fixed emxomf
