   <code>AX_GCC_X86_CPUID(OP)</code>
  </p>
  <h2>
   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    On Pentium and later x86 processors, with gcc or a compiler that has a
    compatible syntax for inline assembly instructions, run a small program
    that executes the cpuid instruction with input OP. This can be used to
    detect the CPU type.
   </p>
   <p>
    On output, the values of the eax, ebx, ecx, and edx registers are stored as
    hexadecimal strings as "eax:ebx:ecx:edx" in the cache variable
    ax_cv_gcc_x86_cpuid_OP.
   </p>
   <p>
    If the cpuid instruction fails (because you are running a cross-compiler,
    or because you are not using gcc, or because you are on a processor that
    doesn't have this instruction), ax_cv_gcc_x86_cpuid_OP is set to the string
    "unknown".
   </p>
   <p>
    This macro mainly exists to be used in AX_GCC_ARCHFLAG.
