This can't go in until a Linux kernel is released with this constant
since this is bits/hwcap.h and is included in sys/auxv.h and would
make the constant visible to the users.

You use HWCAP_GCS internally in a couple of places, so you could
put this into another header temporarily to support building
glibc without exposing the constant in the release.
