So this is checking for GNU IFUNC support, (result in
$libc_cv_ld_gnu_indirect_function)
We don't have ifunc support in arm64 so this test is correctly failing.
The question is why should multiarch support be dependent on IFUNC (A
mechanism for choosing at elf load time which of two different functions
to run, depending on machine capabilities. This has nothing obviously to
do with multiarch paths.
It seems to come from this change:
http://sourceware-org.1504.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-roland-configure-multiarch-Fix-multiarch-handling-in-sysdeps-generation-td218888.html
This makes no sense to me. Multiarch worked just fine in eglibc 2.16
for arm64 so it must be possible to make it work in 2.17 without needing
ifunc. But I really don't understand what's going on here. Is this some
other 'multi-arch' from the Debian one?
crossbuild-essential-arm64 is uninstallable in raring until this is
fixed because the build-arch libc has already moved on.
