the GNU C Library requires CPUs capable of multi-byte NOPs, like
x86-64 processors as well as Intel Pentium Pro or newer.
+ NOTE: '--enable-cet' has been tested for i686, x86_64 and x32 on

+ x32 on CET SDVs, but Intel CET support hasn't been validated for

'--disable-profile'
Don't build libraries with profiling information. You may want to
use this option if you don't plan to do profiling.

* The GNU C Library now has correct support for ABSOLUTE symbols
(SHN_ABS-relative symbols). Previously such ABSOLUTE symbols were
multi-byte NOPs, like x86-64 processors as well as Intel Pentium Pro or
newer.
