IIRC last time I tried it, it caused lots of spurious errors. I don't
remember whether they were due to glibc doing weird things, or limitations
in the linker. I also don't remember how it interacted with weak symbols.

Before accepting such a patch, it would need someone to do some testing,
on some non-trivial packages, and with a couple of different glibc, gcc,
and binutils versions commonly found in use today.
