[[!tag open_issue_glibc open_issue_porting]]
There is a [[!FF_project 274]][[!tag bounty]] on this task.
There are now specialized variants of Debian's libc package, libc0.3-i686 and
libc0.3-xen.

# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-06-30
<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
find out where the hwcap bits come from
<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.
