** Description changed:

+ FFe: We would like to collect that information with 21.04 to get a
+ better view of supported hardware for the new hwcaps.  The risk should
+ be minimal, only adding an extra flag, and the server side collecting
+ the data can handle that, according to Didier.

+ pull request at https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/pull/34

  we want to collect information which most recent hwcap is supported by a
  machine.  The result should be a string like "x86-64-v2", "x86-64-v3",
  "x86-64-v4", "z13", "z14", "p9", "p10" depending on "ld-linux --help"
  output.  The string should be empty for architectures without glibc
  hwcaps (currently armhf, arm64, i386, riscv64). The string should be
  empty if no specific hwcaps is supported (e.g. on a power8 machine). The
- string should be "N/A" (not available), when trying to run ld-linux on a
- release with glibc (<< 2.33).
+ string should be "" (empty), when trying to run ld-linux on a release
+ with glibc (<< 2.33). The string should be "-" (dash) when not having
+ any hwcaps mentioned.
  
  Note that lexical sorting won't work for "p9", "p10".
  
  if test -x /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2; then
-   lddynload=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
+   lddynload=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  elif test -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld64.so.2; then
-   lddynload=/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld64.so.2
+   lddynload=/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld64.so.2
  elif test -x /lib/s390x-linux-gnu/ld64.so.1; then
-   lddynload=/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/ld64.so.1
+   lddynload=/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/ld64.so.1
  fi
  
  supported=
  if [ -n "$lddynload" ]; then
-   $lddynload --help 2>&1 | awk '/^Subdirectories/,/^$/'
-   supported=$($lddynload --help 2>&1 | awk '/^Subdirectories/,/^$/' | awk 
'/supported/ {print $1}')
+   $lddynload --help 2>&1 | awk '/^Subdirectories/,/^$/'
+   supported=$($lddynload --help 2>&1 | awk '/^Subdirectories/,/^$/' | awk 
'/supported/ {print $1}')
  fi
  
  Here, $supported has listed all supported hwcaps, not just the best
  supported one.
