Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2008-12-14 16:04:11 UTC 
man ld-linux has very little to say about hwcap-dependent paths and various
Linux distributions seem to have a different set of them active. For example, on
x86, Debian's ld-linux/ldconfig seems to look for libs in
/usr/lib/{,tls/}{i686,cmov} while Fedora's in /usr/lib/{,tls/}{i686,sse2}. Is
there a definitive document describing this?
