Every feature gcc knows about should be in libgcc. The unfortunate problem now is that cpu_features2 in libgcc is an array thats size may be different with every version of gcc. Clang can’t know how big that array is without reading the libgcc.a symbol table at compile time. Without knowing the size we can’t access any bits past the first 32 bits of cpu_features2.
