Hi Yury, 

what is your plan here? Do you want to revert it for the release (fine with me)
or permanently?

I'm leaning to the opinion that gdb and valgrind do the wrong thing, and while
it's allright to give them more time to fix that, eventually the ifunc solution
makes sense. Without a compatibility kludge, I mean, since it makes something
complex even more complicated...

More opinions welcome.

Cheers
Andreas
