[I assume you meant dl-init.c.]
And for sake of reducing strange effects: it would be best to to handle
this a bit different. Implicitly relying on the programmer having a
newer glibc installed which using ifunc can cause problems. If,
instead, you write a new code fragment which is placed into the .init
section (provided by the linker whenever ifunc symbols are used in
statically linked code), then this new init function could reference a
function in libc which doesn't exist in older versions.
