I went through this patch series.

Taking stock, I think the only remaining problem is the order of IFUNC 
resolvers and TCB initializers in the static linking case.  The patch 
series does IFUNCs first, then TCBs.  I think we should keep the 
existing order, TCB first, then IFUNCs.  It seems the more conservative 
choice, but I do not have much experience with static linking.

(It might also help to avoid dropping stack protection from IFUNCs, but 
since IFUNCs can do so little, that should not matter.)

Thanks,
Florian
