RE: STT_GNU_IFUNC support for MIPS

[Jack Carter <Jack dot Carter at imgtec dot com>]

Andrew,

Yes, all the abis have to be covered.

I am going to start on o32 which may cover n32 as well although I do see an elfn32-mips.c.

I would not be adverse to any help in getting all necessary MIPS targets ifunc operational. 

Jack

It was on my todo items but I never got around to doing it.  Will this
for all three ABIs or just o32?  It is not useful to Cavium if it is
just for o32.
