Certainly not the entire l2c_aux_val, what I meant is to use
boolean options for the bits you need. I was under the impression
that by now we had defined bindings for all the bits that are required
on any platform.

I can't really help with this if we don't have a binding. Proving that
it's always correct to enable these seems better than defining a
binding.
