So I experimented (test included) and found that gcc 14.2 does not seem 
to merge the cpuid calls in this code, whereas clang 19.1 does.

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdio.h>

typedef uint32_t u32;

struct cpuid {
	u32 ebx;
	u32 edx;
	u32 ecx;
	u32 eax;
};

static inline __attribute__((const)) struct cpuid
cpuid(u32 leaf, u32 subleaf)
{
	struct cpuid rv;
	asm("cpuid"
	    : "=a" (rv.eax), "=c" (rv.ecx), "=d" (rv.edx), "=b" (rv.ebx)
	    : "a" (leaf), "c" (subleaf));
	return rv;
}

static inline __attribute__((const)) u32
cpuid_eax(u32 leaf, u32 subleaf)
{
	struct cpuid rv = cpuid(leaf, subleaf);
	return rv.eax;
}
static inline __attribute__((const)) u32
cpuid_ecx(u32 leaf, u32 subleaf)
{
	struct cpuid rv = cpuid(leaf, subleaf);
	return rv.ecx;
}
static inline __attribute__((const)) u32
cpuid_edx(u32 leaf, u32 subleaf)
{
	struct cpuid rv = cpuid(leaf, subleaf);
	return rv.edx;
}
static inline __attribute__((const)) u32
cpuid_ebx(u32 leaf, u32 subleaf)
{
	struct cpuid rv = cpuid(leaf, subleaf);
	return rv.ebx;
}

u32 eax(u32 leaf, u32 subleaf)
{
	return cpuid_eax(leaf, subleaf);
}

struct cpuid _cpuid(u32 leaf, u32 subleaf)
{
	return cpuid(leaf, subleaf);
}

int test_cpuid(void)
{
	int found = 0;

	found += !!(cpuid_edx(1, 0) & (1 << 26)); /* SSE2 */
	found += !!(cpuid_ecx(1, 0) & (1 << 0));  /* SSE3 */
	found += !!(cpuid(1, 0).ecx & (1 << 9));  /* SSSE3 */

	return found;
