>From C Code the recommended way is with inline assembler asm(".global
reference"). ARM's proprietary compiler armcc has a #pragma import
<symbol> [1] which will embed a reference directly, the asm(".global
reference") is the recommended replacement.

You raise an interesting point about ADRP and the
R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 as while it is relative it can't
necessarily return the address of the place either. I'll need to do
some more thinking as I have my suspicions that neither the old or the
new way is quite right. I think that what should happen is the linker
always creates a GOT slot for the weak reference that can ADRP +
follow up instruction can always guarantee to access, if the weak
reference is unresolved the GOT slot contains 0.
