Re: COMMITTED: Add support for STT_IFUNC

Hi Andreas,

  "Mark the symbol as an indirect function.  This has the same
   semantics as STT_FUNC except when the symbol is referenced by
   a relocation.  In this case the symbol's value is not used in
   the relocation but instead the symbol is invoked as a function
   taking no arguments and the return value is used in the
   relocation.  This also means that processing of the relocation
   must be delayed until run-time".

Looks good to me.

OK - I have committed the change.

Cheers
  Nick
