Subject[PATCH v5 16/27] compiler: Option to add PROVIDE_HIDDEN replacement for weak symbols
From
Provide an option to have a PROVIDE_HIDDEN (linker script) entry for
each weak symbol. This option solves an error in x86_64 where the linker
optimizes PIE generated code to be non-PIE because --emit-relocs was used
instead of -pie (to reduce dynamic relocations).
