This should be C++ inherited class field; or in C it should be
bp_location-type driven union.

While I would find it cleaner with the union I do not request this as
mandatory for check-in, it could also start some new GDB coding style
discussions.

Unfortunately we do but we do not / no longer have to.

I meant that 'gdb_assert (is_gnu_ifunc);', that is gone now.

I am not aware of.

This variable is unused now.

Empty line before a comment according to GDB Coding Standards.

OK for the IFUNC part from me.
