> Regarding the weak symbols: As far as I can see the symbols are 'unique' with g++-4.5 and V-weak with g++4.4. Following 'man nm' the 'unique' flag is a GNU extension to elf. Could it be possible that your linker doesn't recognize this correctly?

Indeed they are. Since it doesn't work with ld(1) either, I doubt it's the linker's fault, though (I'm on binutils 2.20.1-r2)
