[PATCH 0/7] Reliable CPU compatibility diagnostics in ld.so

This series enables reliable CPU compatibility diagnostics by building
the early parts of the dynamic loader with an older ISA level than the
rest of glibc.

I tested this with our POWER9 build flags (running on POWER8), and with
-march=x86-64-v4 on a x86-64-v3 system.  In both cases, an accurate
erorr is printed.  Also built with build-many-glibcs.py, and tested on
i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu,.

Florian Weimer (7):
  x86: HAVE_X86_LAHF_SAHF, HAVE_X86_MOVBE and -march=x86-64-vN (bug
    28782)
  Generate gcc-macros.h
  elf: Split dl-printf.c from dl-misc.c
  Add --early-cflags configure option
  powerpc64le: Use <gcc-macros.h> in early HWCAP check
  x86: Add x86-64-vN check to early startup
  s390x: Use <gcc-macros.h> in early HWCAP check
