I think you mean this in specific:
"/* This yields a string that ld.so will use to load implementation
specific libraries for optimization. This is more specific in
intent than poking at uname or /proc/cpuinfo.
For the moment, we have only optimizations for the Intel generations,
but that could change... */
#define ELF_PLATFORM (NULL)"
Right?
