FYI: Since James approved the Aarch64 part and since I think the
generic part can be considered trivial, I have gone ahead and checked
this patch in.

If I'm completely honest with myself, I don't know enough about this area
to review the patch.
Szabolcs' OK holds a lot of weight with me, but I'd like to understand more
of the top-level

If you build GCC with default options, ifunc is enabled on aarch64 and
used by libatomic but if you configure with '--disable

Those were all good suggestions, here is a new patch that incorporates
the changes. I fixed the IFUNC_OPTIONS argument,
renamed ARCH_AARCH64_LINUX_LSE, got rid of the auxv references, and

Here is an updated version of the patch to allow aarch64 to use ifuncs
in libatomic.

This patch uses the libatomic IFUNC infrastructure so that aarch64
machines that support the LSE instructions can use them. Note that
aarch64 still isn't enabling IFUNC support by default though I have
submitted a patch to do that. You can enable IFUNC support by
configuring with --enable-gnu-ind
