Because the whole weak-linking looks like it is somewhat broken or at
least very difficult to get it correctly.

Yes, there are several possible solutions to address this issue. Until
now, there were discussed: CONFIG_XYZ and ifdef/endif and pre-build
objects (patch from Jean-Christophe) and my proposal.

Using a board specific linker script is another way.

However, because the problem regarding weak-linking is a global one,
maybe the circumvention should be global too.

But I don't know. I could also use a board specific linker script.
