Sorry for the delay. I had to wait for some test machines to be 
prepared. I have posted a patchset where the common libc_ifunc macro is 
adjusted and used by all architectures including s390.
Thus this patch is superseded by the patch series:
"[PATCH 1/8] Use gcc attribute ifunc in libc_ifunc macro instead of 
inline assembly due to false debuginfo."
