HWCAP human readable on my 32-bit Centrino

Parent article: getauxval() and the auxiliary vector

I tried sleep with LD_SHOW_AUX=1 set, and my AT_HWCAP values were the human-readable processor capabilities I get when I cat /proc/cpuinfo. Plus, I had an extra entry at the beginning, AT_SYSINFO.

FWIW I have GLIBC version 2.13 (which implies the getauxval() call isn't available to me). Just sharing my experiences here; thanks for the article!
