[PATCH] Don't add hidden symbols into static binaries


The __GI_* symbol aliases for __memcpy_generic are unnecessary since
they're never used.  Add them only for libc.so to avoid PLT.  Maybe
some time in future we need to evaluate the relative cost of PLT vs
gains from multiarch memcpy implementations and take a call on whether
to drop this completely.

	* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memcpy_generic.S (__GI_memcpy):
	Define only for libc.so.
