umm, actually, i think it's stilly pretty similar, _BUT_ they're no
longer in sys/cdefs.h.


they've now moved to <machine/cdefs.h>, which defines the following
things:

	_C_LABEL(x)
	__indr_reference(sym,alias)
	__warn_references(sym,msg)


take a look at e.g. an i386 or m68k include/cdefs.h to see what the
reference macros would look like on a machine that really supports
weak and indirect references.

The Alpha doesn't, so you may want to clone my cdefs.h...  note
however that i don't have __indr_reference() defined yet (though the
tree compiles fine without it 8-).
