 It's one thing for gcc and glibc getting their hands dirty with details and 
maybe to always get the latest info you need to do it yourself, but we're not 
*that* leading edge here. 

Got any pointers indicating hwcaps being deprecated? I haven't looked at 
details but I remember fairly recent activity around HWCAPS, such as 
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-May/113757.html. 

GCC's __builtin_cpu_supports does unfortunately not support all features needed 
to detect these levels properly.
