Subject: [PATCH v2 06/22] tools/nolibc: export environ as a weak symbol on x86_64
Date:   Tue, 10 Jan 2023 08:24:18 +0100
Message-Id: <20230110072434.3863-7-w@1wt.eu>
In-Reply-To: <20230110072434.3863-1-w@1wt.eu>
References: <20230110072434.3863-1-w@1wt.eu>
Precedence: bulk

The environ is retrieved from the _start code and is easy to store at
this moment. Let's declare the variable weak and store the value into
it. By not being static it will be visible to all units. By being weak,
if some programs already declared it, they will continue to be able to
use it. This was tested both with environ inherited from _start and
extracted from envp.
