Hi Florian,

With the new x86-64-vN directories, shouldn't the old haswell/xeon_phi directory
support be removed?  Otherwise, ld.so searches the wrong directories.

BTW, I don't see any testcases for x86-64-vN directories.  We need them to
check that the ld.so picks the correct shared library.

I think we should deprecate the legacy hwcaps subdirectories.

There are, see tst-glibc-hwcaps-*.  Some of the tests are
architecture-specific.

Thanks,
Florian
