Is there a patch for this to mainline gcc - my quick searches did not
find anything ? I see no reason for not defaulting to this on linux /
glibc configurations in mainline gcc taking care not to break things
for people who use musl or bionic. We've had ifuncs on aarch32 glibc /
binutils for a few years now IIRC so I'm happy to review a patch on
gcc-patches if someone can point me at it or propose a patch ....
