When Branch Target Identifier (BTI) is enabled on aarch64,
any software which run libglvnd will fail with SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
If I run kmscube within gdb, I get:
Thread 1 "kmscube" received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.

"hint #34 (closed)" is the same thing as "BTI C" landing pad, but keep compatibility with systems without BTI enabled.
