OK. So weak data references should not be resolved to weak and
undefined PLT entries. This sounds good to solve this problem but
cannot work in general since there is no guarantee that the PLT
relocation happened before data relocation (in the case of lazy
relocation the PLT relocation happens much later).
I don't have your patch handy but the test case you sent for the x86
linker should fail with the above logic applied as well.
