      better code.  As of release time, GCC 5.3 is the newest compiler
      verified to work to build the GNU C Library.
 
+     For multi-arch support it is recommended to use a GCC which has
+     been built with support for GNU indirect functions.  This ensures
+     that correct debugging information is generated for functions
+     selected by IFUNC resolvers.  This support can either be enabled by
+     configuring GCC with '--enable-gnu-indirect-function', or by
+     enabling it by default by setting 'default_gnu_indirect_function'
+     variable for a particular architecture in the GCC source file
+     'gcc/config.gcc'.

      You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that use
      the GNU C Library.
