A weak symbol definition is not special during dynamic linking, so don't let a strong definition in a later module override it. (glibc dynamic linker allows overriding weak definitions if LD_DYNAMIC_WEAK is set, musl does not.) STB_GNU_UNIQUE means that the symbol is global, even if it is in a module that's loaded with RTLD_LOCAL, and all references resolve to the same definition. This semantics is only relevant for c++ plugin systems and even there it's often not what the user wants (so it can be turned off in g++ by -fno-gnu-unique when the c++ shared lib is compiled). In musl just treat it like STB_GLOBAL.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
