While searching for this warning message, I found for example:

  http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost-users/msg03526.php
  http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2003-May/004138.html
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1998-04/msg00819.html

So it seems, that weak symbols/weak linking does not work with all object
file formats (only with ELF?).
