I used nolibc (from the kernel tree at tools/include/nolibc/) to make cross
platform usage of the tests easier. See also [0].
I got confused by the existence of hwcap.h in the kernel UAPI headers for
various architectures and didn't check the libc headers.
So this isn't really a bug right now, and the hwcap changes will only really be
necessary once my other work goes upstream.
