Re: COMMITTED: Add support for STT_IFUNC

Hi Daniel,

  Plus objdump and readelf will append "()" to relocs which are made
  against STT_IFUNC symbols, as a hint that the relocation invokes a
  function:

RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
OFFSET TYPE VALUE 00000009 R_386_32 .rodata
0000009f R_386_PC32 ifunction() 

This is ambiguous w.r.t. C++ demangling.  Maybe *ifunction?  Still,
technically, ambiguous but less likely.

Well it is just a visual hint and I am a C coder at heart, so I think that I will things as they are.

Cheers
  Nick
