Why do you need a public symbol init_hwcapinfo? If this function is
called from outside the library that defines it, I'd have expected a
private, implementation-namespace symbol __init_hwcapinfo, at version
GLIBC_PRIVATE. A public symbol should only be needed if it's a documented
API for users to call.
