It's a "now" problem - Yury is looking at it!
A real issue is that __libc_malloc now does need to be ifunc'd since it's exported
unfortunately (no idea why that was done). It means we need to rename a lot
to get that to work.
Another thing I need to think about is how to support no multiarch if that is
still required. We'd probably have to dispatch using a function pointer computed
by the ifunc selector...
Cheers,
Wilco
