Not all x86/x86-64 targets support the ifunc feature.
```suggestion
For targets that support the GNU indirect function (IFUNC) feature, dispatch
is performed by emitting an indirect function that is resolved to the
appropriate
target clone at load time. The indirect function is given the name the
multiversioned function would have if it had been declared without the
attribute.
For backward compatibility with earlier Clang releases, a function alias with an
``.ifunc`` suffix is also emitted. The ``.ifunc`` suffixed symbol is a
deprecated
feature and support for it may be removed in the future.
