Is this patch against src/msun ?

This is only a workaround, which break ABI and older binaries.
The bug is apparently in clang, which inserts the undef reference
into the resulting object file, when weak alias references undefined
symbol. Gnu as does not have the bug.

There is some magic switch to reduce amount of clang bugs, like
-fno-integrated-as. Please try to compile the problematic .o with the
switch.
