Question on hwcaps

Hi,

On my debian 5.0 system using glibc-2.7, the set of important hwcaps
identified by the system (apart from "tls" and i686) are sse2 and cmov
respectively. I can see this with LD_DEBUG=all.

However by examining the source code for glibc-2.7, the only default
hwcaps mask should be sse2. So from where did the cmov mask come from?

Any insight into this would be very helpful.

Regards,
Narayan
