+There are now specialized variants of Debian's libc package, libc0.3-i686 and

+    <pinotree> other than that, the hwcap system is not working for us yet,
+      right?
+    <youpi> no but we'd like to use e.g. cpuid for that
+    <youpi> like kfreebsd does
+    <pinotree> do they use cpuid for that?
+    <pinotree> i kind of lost myself in glibc's loading internals, trying to

+    <youpi> on linux it comes from the kernel
+    <youpi> on kfreebsd aiui they use cpuid to figure it out from the process
+      itself
+    <pinotree> do you have any pointer to the kfreebsd way? iirc i had a look
+      in their sysdeps, but found nothing related to that
+    <youpi> it's in local-sysdeps.diff aiui
+    <youpi> +dl_platform_kfreebsd_i386_init
+    <youpi> which fills dl_hwcap
+    <youpi> called at _dl_sysdep_start
+    <pinotree> interesting

+Having working CPUID code inside [[glibc]] is also a prerequisite for proper
+[[IFUNC]] support.
