/* Sometimes a final executable may attempt to call an undefined
weak function (e.g., __gmon_start__). Return if the function
was not resolved by _dl_fixup */
/* While the linker will set a function pointer to NULL when it
encounters an undefined weak function, we need to dynamically
detect removed weak functions. The issue arises because a weak
__gmon_start__ function was added to shared executables to work
around issues in _init that are now resolved. The presence of
__gmon_start__ in every shared library breaks the linker
`--as-needed' option. This __gmon_start__ function does nothing
but removal is tricky. Depending on the binding, removal can
cause an application using it to fault. The call to _dl_fixup
returns NULL when a function isn't resolved. In order to help
with __gmon_start__ removal, we return directly to the caller
when _dl_fixup returns NULL. This check could be removed when
BZ 19170 is fixed. */
