Bleah ... I confess to having misread the initial message as being a
complaint about HWCAP2_CRC32 not HWCAP_CRC32.  -ENOCAFFEINE I guess.

So what we've got here is that somewhere along the line glibc decided
that sys/auxv.h should duplicate the HWCAPxxx macros from the kernel's
header.  On recent (and even not so recent) aarch64 Fedora,
/usr/include/bits/hwcap.h has

/* The following must match the kernel's <asm/hwcap.h> and update the
   list together with sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/dl-procinfo.c.  */
#define HWCAP_FP                (1 << 0)
...

but that is not the case if you go back as far as RHEL7.

A minimal fix might be to change

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

but that risks compiler warnings if there are any macro discrepancies
at all between bits/hwcap.h and asm/hwcap.h.  I'm inclined to think
it's better to do something like

+#if defined(__linux__) && (defined(__aarch64__) ? !defined(HWCAP_CRC32) : 
!defined(HWCAP2_CRC32))

or perhaps that's too unreadable and we should break it out into
multiple #if's.
