`--disable-seccomp-sandboxing` option to the `configure` script (Not
recommended unless your system doesn't support `libseccomp`). To get
the library, visit <https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp>.
+
+ - On 64-bit x86 machines only, `libcpuid` library
+ is used to determine which microarchitecture levels are supported
+ (e.g., as whether to have `x86_64-v2-linux` among additional system types).
+ The library is available from its homepage
+ <http://libcpuid.sourceforge.net>.
+ This is an optional dependency and can be disabled
+ by providing a `--disable-cpuid` to the `configure` script.
