[PATCH 11/11] alpha: run the ld-ifunc tests
This patch removes the alpha target from the skip list in ld-ifunc/ifunc.exp, thereby enabling the indirect function (IFUNC) tests for alpha. The tests were run using an alpha-linux-gnu cross toolchain, and only the linker tests were supported in that configuration. One test, ifunc-26, is expected to continue failing due to known limitations related to .set directives and assembly modes.
