If an undefined weak symbol is not resolved to a defined symbol at link time, the linker can choose whether to promote the symbol to a dynamic symbol or not. If promoted, the weak symbol has another chance to be resolved to a defined symbol at load time. Otherwise, it is resolved to address 0 at link time. Previously, mold always resolved remaining undefined weak symbols in an executable to address 0 at link time. Now, you can instruct the linker to promote them to dynamic symbols using -z dynamic-undefined-weak. (1822e47)

Espressif has not publicly documented these commands, so either they weren’t meant to be accessible, or they were left in by mistake.”
left in by mistake … lol I don’t think so haha
“The term “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) is grossly misleading as no form or sort of intelligence exists at all. The only reason why this terminology is being used is because it is easier to sell. When most people think of AI they tend to think of something from science fiction.”
