So I'm not super familiar with those configure macros, but I noticed this in configure.ac" # Check if asm support armv8.2-a+sve AC_CACHE_CHECK(for SVE support in assembler, libc_cv_asm_sve, [dnl cat > conftest.s <<\EOF ptrue p0.b EOF if AC_TRY_COMMAND(${CC-cc} -c -march=armv8.2-a+sve conftest.s 1>&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD); then libc_cv_aarch64_sve_asm=yes else libc_cv_aarch64_sve_asm=no fi rm -f conftest*]) if test $libc_cv_aarch64_sve_asm = yes; then AC_DEFINE(HAVE_AARCH64_SVE_ASM) fi Note the use of "libc_cv_asm_sve" vs. "libc_cv_aarch64_sve_asm" This doesn't match other tests in the same file and might explain why the result isn't displayed properly when running configure...
Confirmed, the fix is trivial.
Fixed by commit 12182ba18d.
