I think that's too long.  It would collide with the next release...
I think 2.7 has some important improvements for C++, but 2.7.1
breaks something big.

Updating ld will be difficult.  cc only requires `.weak' support in
as.  Perhaps ASM_WEAKEN_LABEL() could emit a stab instead of a `.weak'
statement.  I just deleted ASM_WEAKEN_LABEL() for 2.7.0.  This may
have broken the C++ feature that depends on weak symbols.
