Fix SIGILL in naked functions with ExternalWeak linkage
Fixes #142880 by replacing the fatal error for ExternalWeak linkage in naked functions with a fallback to External linkage. This prevents the SIGILL crash in LLVM while maintaining the intended function visibility. The ExternalWeak linkage type was causing LLVM to generate invalid assembly for naked functions, resulting in SIGILL (illegal instruction) errors during compilation. This change provides a safe fallback that preserves the global visibility of the function. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
