This is a testsuite problem.  Expected readelf output is that for x86
which lacks the localentry annotation for functions on ppc64le.
pr23169a and pr23169d expect that "func" is changed from an ifunc to a
normal function, which is a lie, and I think unnecessary as
demonstrated by the fact that ppc64le and ppc64 pass actually running
these tests.  Did someone OK HJ's patch at
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2018-05/msg00140.html ?

I don't see any of the above.

Testsuite problem, and possibly some ppc32 breakage.

Testsuite problem again.

I don't see these.
