This patch fix the elf/ifuncmain6pie failure when building with GCC
4.9+. For some reason, the compiler removes if condition at
resolve_ifunc (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h) as dead-code
and thus the testcase fails because it branches to an invalid memory
location.
It fixes my explicit adding a dependency of value based on
odp variable to avoid compiler optimization.
It fixes BZ#17868.
Tested on powerpc64 and powerp64le with GCC 4.9 and GCC 4.8.
Carlos, I would like to push it for 2.21.
