I think, in case if IFUNC is not available (i.e., outside glibc), redirection is still possible by introducing a regular function pointer there. Yes, it is an extra cost but better than nothing (+ consistent behavior on all platforms), probably will not add too much anyway because there is already a performance hit by going to libatomic.
