I suggest to check for the feature, not for the version, the configure 
file already has support for this, so this might be enough:
AC_CACHE_CHECK([for assembler gnu_indirect_function symbol type 
support],
               libc_cv_asm_gnu_indirect_function, [dnl
cat > conftest.s <<EOF
.type foo,%gnu_indirect_function
EOF
if ${CC-cc} -c $ASFLAGS conftest.s 1>&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD 
2>&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD;
then
  libc_cv_asm_gnu_indirect_function=yes
else
  libc_cv_asm_gnu_indirect_function=no
fi
rm -f conftest*])

You should add some USE_MULTIARCH ifdefs around the code so that it 
builds with and without linker support.

NEWS is not mentioned in the ChangeLog.
