Seconded, getauxval (not getauxvec!) is simpler, officially supported
for a long time, and while the intent is not to modify the format of
/proc/cpuinfo in a way that would break existing uses, it is not set
in stone. For a start, the /proc/cpuinfo format does not scale well to
hundreds or thousands of cores/threads, and you could say the same of
other /proc files, like /proc/interrupts.
