oh cool. this even works on CentOS and RHEL systems:
```
smooge@xanadu ~]$ podman run fedora:latest /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
--help
...
Subdirectories of glibc-hwcaps directories, in priority order:
  x86-64-v4
  x86-64-v3 (supported, searched)
  x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)

Legacy HWCAP subdirectories under library search path directories:
  haswell (AT_PLATFORM; supported, searched)
  tls (supported, searched)
  avx512_1
  x86_64 (supported, searched)
[smooge@xanadu ~]$ uname -a
