aliases are there for a reason

are you sure about the correctness of these?

they seem to be broken to me: weak aliases are not respected
and functions are dropped even if there are weak references to
them which is bad..

eg if sccp is dropped then in any code that does not
use pthread, the cancellable syscalls will be broken
(if i understand these right)
