[LLVMdev] [lld] Implementing the aliasing feature

[Shankar Easwaran]

Spoke too early. ELF still needs a special reference to implement 
__wrap. The wrapped function in the case of ELF always points to an atom 
whose size > 0 and is not a weak atom.

I was thinking of calling it a reference *Override* ?

Thanks
