In the dynamic linking case, we use the versioned symbol '__parse_hwcap_and_convert_at_platform' to verify if this feature is available. However, the same symbol was not exported to libc.a, making it not possible for GCC to check for it prior to link time. This patch fixes that.

Is this better or worse than amending the troublesome spot to:
#if IS_IN (rtld) || !defined (SHARED)
as versioned_symbol() translates to weak_alias() in the later case.
If not, LGTM.
