We should not break builds with default GCC configurations, for any GCC
version supported for building glibc. The point to require that option is
the point where all GCC versions supported for building glibc default to
that option on all architectures for which IFUNCs are used in glibc (and
even then you'd have to allow for the case of --enable-multi-arch
defaulting to on because new binutils has IFUNC support and not break
builds with GCC predating that binutils version - really, the
architecture-specific default in GCC is very questionable).
