This commit enables support for GNU indirect functions (__attribute__((ifunc))) on the Alpha architecture when targeting Linux. It sets the necessary configuration flags and ensures that the target’s assembler and linker infrastructure correctly handle the emission of indirect function symbols and their associated relocations, specifically R_ALPHA_IRELATIVE.
