__attribute__((constructor (300))) static void _initialize_libcap(void)
{
    if (_cap_max_bits) {
        return;
    }
    cap_set_syscall(NULL, NULL);  --> nope
    _binary_search(_cap_max_bits, cap_get_bound, 0, __CAP_MAXBITS,
__CAP_BITS); --> 🤔
    cap_proc_root("/proc");
}

do, what cap_get_bound does ?

int cap_get_bound(cap_value_t cap)
{
    int result;

    result = prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, pr_arg(cap), pr_arg(0));
    if (result < 0) {
        errno = -result; --> If all my bets paid , I would be rich..
here is your 1
        return -1;
    }
    return result;
}
