43 symbols _nl_current_LC_FOO_used are defined to meaningless values
44 if _nl_current_LC_FOO was linked in. By using weak references to
45 both symbols and testing the address of _nl_current_LC_FOO_used,
46 we can avoid accessing the _nl_current_LC_FOO thread-local
47 variable at all when no code referring to it was linked in. We
48 need the special bogus symbol because while TLS symbols can be
49 weak, there is no reasonable way to test for the default-zero
50 value as with a heap symbol (taking the address would just use
51 some bogus offset from our thread pointer). */
