| Two bugs here:

| 
|  - libcrypto should #ifdef __linux__ (or something) the getauxval code

Libcrypto expects the symbol getauxval to do what it is supposed to if it
exists :-) Let's fix p11-kit. It is stupid to call it getauxval in the first
place, it should have called it istainted() or something.
