             Bug #: 14166
           Summary: invalid IFUNC DW_AT_linkage_name: memmove strstr time
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jan.kratochvil@redhat.com
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
              Host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Broken fix attempt.

$ ./gdb /lib64/libc.so.6
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.4.50.20120523-cvs
(gdb) p memmove
$1 = {<text gnu-indirect-function variable, no debug info>} 0x88a70 <memmove>
(gdb) p memmove
$2 = {void *(void)} 0x88a70 <memmove>

DWARF has no way how to mark a function as IFUNC.  Only ELF has a way.
No DWARF DIE definition must use ELF IFUNC symbol names as GDB prefers DWARF
symbols more than ELF symbols.

These DWARF DW_AT_linkage_name symbols are marked in ELF as IFUNC:
  __GI___strcasecmp __GI_time __gettimeofday __memmove_chk __sched_cpucount
  __strcasestr memmove strstr time

Out of those only these are of concern to users:
  memmove strstr time

            ^^^^^^^
Other uses of libc_ifunc are for example:
libc_ifunc (__strcasestr,

Attached broken fix attempt fails to build:
