Piggybacking on the hwcaps tunable in glibc, it's shipping platform-optimized libraries

Besides OpenSUSE's relatively unusual desire to use the latest
x86_64 CPU features that they can get away with, this Glibc feature
sounds more generally useful on ARM. Where for example the
Raspberry Pi OS already invented their own build type because
Debian's mix of ARM builds didn't take full advantage of the CPU in
the first Raspberry Pi. Then they also can't use newer features of
later RPi CPU models with that same OS image/packages.
