Re: [PATCH 0/4] Export AT_HWCAP from libc.

If that's a general-purpose auxv-scanning interface, then that sounds like
it might be the really useful thing to export instead.  We could still have
it special-case AT_HWCAP (and perhaps a few others) to report the cached
values we already have internally rather than actually scan.
