Description H.J. Lu 2008-12-16 18:55:51 UTC 
STT_IFUNC is defined in OS-specific range:

#define STT_LOOS        10      /* OS-specific semantics */
#define STT_IFUNC       10      /* Symbol is an indirect code object */
#define STT_HIOS        12      /* OS-specific semantics */ 

It should be STT_GNU_IFUNC.  Unless everyone agrees it should be 7,
which is generic to all OSes, it should be renamed to STT_GNU_IFUNC.

Hi H.J.

  You are correct, the value should be 7.

  I have removed the STT_IFUNC support in binutils (for now), but should the
feature be officially approved I will re-add the support, with the correct value
for STT_IFUNC.

Cheers
  Nick
