In the ARM case we don't enable ifunc attribute support by default.  I 
think we *should* add arm*-* to that case statement to enable it by 
default (for GNU/Linux targets); it just so happens the absence for ARM 
doesn't break building glibc because all IFUNCs in glibc on ARM are 
defined in .S files, not in C code.
