IFUNC_IMPL_ADD is used in
sysdeps/arm/armv7/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
sysdeps/s390/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
Removing it from include/ifunc-impl-list.h isn't appropriate. Here is
the updated patch with comments.

I am going to look into compiling the benchmarks under _ISOMAC. Please
wait.

Subject: [PATCH] Add __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS for C++
Add __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS to support C++. IFUNC_IMPL_ADD and
IFUNC_IMPL are used internally in libc. They shouldn't be used in any
programs.
* include/ifunc-impl-list.h: Add __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS.
(IFUNC_IMPL_ADD, IFUNC_IMPL): Define only if __cplusplus isn't
defined.
