>Description:
	The attached example program is accepted by gcc-3.0.4, but is rejected
	by gcc-3.1.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile this example program:

---	
extern "C" void func(void);
extern "C" void func(void) __attribute__((weak, alias("__func")));
void __func(void){}
---

      	These are the results:

bash-2.05a$ /opt/gcc-v3/bin/g++ -V 3.0.4 -fsyntax-only testprog.cxx
bash-2.05a$ /opt/gcc-v3/bin/g++ -V 3.1 -fsyntax-only testprog.cxx
testprog.cxx:2: `void func()' defined both normally and as an alias
testprog.cxx:2: weak declaration of `void func()' must precede definition
