  The other function at global scope with the same name as
  ``newname`` can possibly be defined in
  another compilation unit and linked with the compilation
  unit containing the function defined with ${../if/weak-alias:/name}.

  When the code is compiled with the GNU C compiler,
  and the produced target file format is ELF or a.out,
  and argument ${../if/weak-alias:/params[0]/name} is a name of a function,
  and the macro ${../if/weak-alias:/name} call is in the same compilation unit
  as the function,
  and the macro is not used in block scope,
  and the macro is used in this form:
  ``<return-type> newname([argument-type-list]) ${../if/weak-alias:/name}(oldname)``;,
  and the ``<return-type>`` and ``argument-type-list`` match the
  signature of the function ``oldname``,
  and there is another function symbol at global scope with the same name as
  ``newname``,
  and this other function is not defined with the ${../if/weak:/name} macro or
  otherwise defined or declared ``weak``,
  and both functions have the same type,
  the ${../if/weak-alias:/name} macro shall cause the code to behave as if
  the function defined with the ${../if/weak-alias:/name} macro does not exist.
