+Because some of the characters used in these syntaxes (such as @samp{@@} and
+@samp{#}) are comment characters for some architectures, some of the syntaxes
+below do not work on all architectures. The first variant will be accepted by
+the GNU assembler on all architectures so that variant should be used for
+maximum portability, if you do not need to assemble your code with other
+assemblers.

When a weak symbol is created that is not an alias, GAS creates an
alternate symbol to hold the default value.
+@node Weakref
+@section @code{.weakref @var{alias}, @var{target}}
+
+@cindex @code{weakref} directive
+This directive creates an alias to the target symbol that enables the symbol to
+be referenced with weak-symbol semantics, but without actually making it weak.
+If direct references or definitions of the symbol are present, then the symbol
+will not be weak, but if all references to it are through weak references, the
+symbol will be marked as weak in the symbol table.
+
+The effect is equivalent to moving all references to the alias to a separate
+assembly source file, renaming the alias to the symbol in it, declaring the
+symbol as weak there, and running a reloadable link to merge the object files
+resulting from the assembly of the new source file and the old source file that
+had the references to the alias removed.
+
+The alias itself never makes to the symbol table, and is entirely handled
+within the assembler.
