How would it work? Does it just mean that the IFUNC selector bypasses
the disabled choices?
Also it does not meet Tunables consensus:
"Tunable namespace should be clearly defined"
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/TuningLibraryRuntimeBehavior?highlight=%28Tunables%29
Should perhaps be "GLIBC_<VER>_IFUNC_<ARCH>_<PUBLIC_IFUNC_NAME>"?
