That should not be a problem. We are supporting gnu_ifunc only for static case. Therefore there are no any other than IRELATIVE relocations in rela.plt when they are used.
There is probably no real need in supporting dynamic case in closest future because as far as I know ifunc mostly needed to statically link against multiarch libc.
So for now I would not overcomplicate the solution for that.
