 The problem with attribute((alias())), is still present in gcc-3.2, but it
 isn't limited to h8300 or c++. It can be reproduced on arm-elf targets and
 with plain c.
 
 Without a fix good stuff like eCos can't compile, and code like
 
 /* HEADER FILE */
 extern int getcx(int);
 
 /* IMPLEMENTATION */
 int __getcx(int) {return 1;}
 
 int getcx(int)
     __attribute__((weak))
     __attribute__((alias("__getcx")));
 
 
 Will produces this error :
  `int getcx(int)' defined both normally and as an alias
 
 Are there any plans to fix the problem? and what is the problem with the 
 patch in:
