+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Determines whether weak aliases are supported on the system, and if so,
+# what scheme is used to declare them. Also checks to see if aliases can
+# cross object file boundaries, as some systems don't permit them to.
+#
+# Most systems permit something called a "weak alias" or "weak symbol."
+# These aliases permit a library to provide a stub form of a routine
+# defined in another library, thus allowing the first library to operate
+# even if the other library is not linked. This macro will check for
+# support of weak aliases, figure out what schemes are available, and
+# determine some characteristics of the weak alias support -- primarily,
+# whether a weak alias declared in one object file may be referenced from
+# another object file.
+#
+# There are four known schemes of declaring weak symbols; each scheme is
+# checked in turn, and the first one found is preferred. Note that only
+# one of the mentioned preprocessor macros will be defined!
+#
+# 1. Function attributes
+#
+# This scheme was first introduced by the GNU C compiler, and attaches
+# attributes to particular functions. It is among the easiest to use, and
+# so is the first one checked. If this scheme is detected, the
+# preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_ATTRIBUTE will be defined to 1.
+# This scheme is used as in the following code fragment:
+#
+# void __weakf(int c)
+# {
+# /* Function definition... */
+# }
+#
+# void weakf(int c) __attribute__((weak, alias("__weakf")));
+#
+# 2. #pragma weak
+#
+# This scheme is in use by many compilers other than the GNU C compiler.
+# It is also particularly easy to use, and fairly portable -- well, as
+# portable as these things get. If this scheme is detected first, the
+# preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_PRAGMA will be defined to 1. This
+# scheme is used as in the following code fragment:
+#
+# extern void weakf(int c);
+# #pragma weak weakf = __weakf
+# void __weakf(int c)
+# {
+# /* Function definition... */
+# }
+#
+# 3. #pragma _HP_SECONDARY_DEF
+#
+# This scheme appears to be in use by the HP compiler. As it is rather
+# specialized, this is one of the last schemes checked. If it is the first
+# one detected, the preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_HPSECONDARY
+# will be defined to 1. This scheme is used as in the following code
+# fragment:
+#
+# extern void weakf(int c);
+# #pragma _HP_SECONDARY_DEF __weakf weakf
+# void __weakf(int c)
+# {
+# /* Function definition... */
+# }
+#
+# 4. #pragma _CRI duplicate
+#
+# This scheme appears to be in use by the Cray compiler. As it is rather
+# specialized, it too is one of the last schemes checked. If it is the
+# first one detected, the preprocessor macro
+# HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_CRIDUPLICATE will be defined to 1. This scheme is
+# used as in the following code fragment:
+#
+# extern void weakf(int c);
+# #pragma _CRI duplicate weakf as __weakf
+# void __weakf(int c)
+# {
+# /* Function definition... */
+# }
+#
+# In addition to the preprocessor macros listed above, if any scheme is
+# found, the preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS will also be defined
+# to 1.
+#
+# Once a weak aliasing scheme has been found, a check will be performed to
+# see if weak aliases are honored across object file boundaries. If they
+# are, the HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_CROSSFILE preprocessor macro is defined to
+# 1.
+#
+# This Autoconf macro also makes two substitutions. The first, WEAK_ALIAS,
+# contains the name of the scheme found (one of "attribute", "pragma",
+# "hpsecondary", or "criduplicate"), or "no" if no weak aliasing scheme
+# was found. The second, WEAK_ALIAS_CROSSFILE, is set to "yes" or "no"
+# depending on whether or not weak aliases may cross object file
+# boundaries.
