Should this be forwarded to upstream? Upstream is quite responsive.

Bug#1014536: manpages: Hardware capabilities section would need updating to latest glibc

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Package: manpages
Version: 5.10-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Currently the manpage for ld.so contains some of the magic strings for
proper subfolder names. However this list does not seems to reflect the
current glibc (bullseye system) release.

Typically:

% sudo ldconfig -p | grep hwcap
libx264.so.160 (libc6,x86-64, hwcap: 0x0004) => 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/haswell/libx264.so.160
libx264.so.160 (libc6,x86-64, hwcap: 0x0004) => 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/avx512_1/libx264.so.160

It would be nice to document the latest known valid subfolder names
handled by ldconfig.
