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