Thanks.

I do not think this is blocker, but if you need to explicit add 
libc_cv_ld_gnu_indirect_function=no it means your toolchain can potentially
generate invalid binaries:

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

static int impl (void) { return 42; }
static void * resolver (void) { return impl; }
int ifunc (void) __attribute__((ifunc ("resolver")));

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  printf ("%d\n", (int) ifunc ());
  return 0;
}
$ loongarch64-linux-gnu-hard/bin/loongarch64-glibc-linux-gnu-gcc test.c -o test
$ qemu-loongarch64 elf/ld.so --library-path . ./test
./test: error while loading shared libraries: unexpected PLT reloc type 0x0c

It would be better if you just disable ifunc support on static linker for now.
