We still have at least one CentOS 7 aarch64 machine that gets regular
testing (not sure of the reason, since it's been EOL for a year and a
half IIUC), and it builds fine:

We already have the following, so I'm not sure what you mean (or even
what architecture you're running on):

#if defined(HAVE_ELF_AUX_INFO) || defined(HAVE_GETAUXVAL)
#include <sys/auxv.h>
#if defined(__linux__) && !defined(__aarch64__) && !defined(HWCAP2_CRC32)
#include <asm/hwcap.h>
#endif
#endif
