commit 562ef5e69eb38230810bd25a4335224a31bfe31b
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Oct 27 10:42:10 2020 +0100

    misc: Add internal __getauxval2 function
    
    The explicit error return value (without in-band signaling) avoids
    complicated steps to detect errors based on whether errno has been
    updated.
