Detect if the compiler can support the ifun and avx2, if so, set
CONFIG_AVX2_OPT which will be used to turn on the avx2 instruction
optimization.

Might be nicer to use "void *" and return an actual function name:

static void bar(void) {}
static void *bar_ifunc(void) { return (void *)bar; }
void foo(void) __attribute__((ifunc("bar_ifunc")));

And also you probably should use "readelf --syms ... | grep IFUNC.*foo"
to check that the attribute was not ignored.
