[U-Boot] still an issue ?? - Can't get strong symbol to override weak one

Hi all,
I've ported u-boot to our ARM board based on at91sam9263.
When I try to use the LED functions I have problems getting strong symbols overriden by weak ones.
I'm just stumbling upon the archive entries http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-June/035540.html and http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-July/037619.html
Seems I have exact that problem. Has this been solved?
Any hints how I should proceed to stay compatible with u-boot?
Cheers, Joachim

This issue is solved by this patch:

Dear Sebastian,
thanks for the fast response!
O.k. so I will use my small local workaround until your proposed patch is accepted and included in the official source tree.
Best regards, Joachim
