I think the new behaviour is correct, and is a deliberate bug fix
from earlier binutils.  strcmp is defined as an indirection function,
so it's address can only be determined at run-time (by calling the
strcmp defined here to get the real address).  It therefore isn't
correct to resolve "strcmp - .text" at assembly time (or link time).

The test case wants to refer to the locally-defined strcmp function,
so it should use a local label instead of the ifunc symbol.
