they are not enabled across all architectures, well specifically, its not enabled on arm and seems also ppc is missing it.

systemd is using ifuncs to patch up the library migration it has done in 209
so it only shows up when we enable compat lib support in systemd, and if we patch the apps to forward port to systemd 209 then we don’t need to enable compat lib support and
it could be left alone.

if we want to enable compat libs/ifunc then we can think of adding --enable-gnu-indirect-function
to gcc configure but then it may not work on all architectures that we are interested in.
