Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for sorting this out.  Just a few comments below.

This is not a bash script, and the above is a bashism :-(
Also, my version of awk (mawk) doesn't have a -e option.

How about something like :

undef_weak_symbols=$($nm "$vmlinux" | awk '$1 ~ /w/ { print $2 }')
if [ "$undef_weak_symbols" ]; then
	bad_relocs="$(echo "$bad_relocs" | grep -F -w -v "$undef_weak_symbols")"
fi

Or do this near the top and add the grep to the others.
