seg fault on override of a weak symbol in g++

Hi,
I was trying to build the ppl 1.1 library and got a seg fault when running
one of the tests. I've narrowed it down to the attached test case.

System: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 Keith-PC 1.7.31(0.272/5/3) 2014-07-25 11:26 x86_64
Cygwin

Both the following GCC's exhibit the problem Cygwin:

When built with the default Cygwin compiler the problem doesn't occur.

In the attached files in weak.cpp if the line
	static ios_base::Init __ioinit;
is commented out the seg fault doesn't occur. Doing a disassembly of weak.o
(objdump -d weak.o) shows that the call includes a nonzero offset that gets
applied when the weak symbol is overridden by the function in strong.o. The
offset is zero if the above mentioned line is commented out. 

Regards,
Keith
