    Cygwin: find_fast_cwd: don't run assembler checking code on ARM64
    
    https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2024-February/255397.html
    reports a crash on ARM64 probably related to checking x86_64
    code on the x86_64 emulator on AArch64.
    
    At least for testing, pull the code checking the host HW
    up to be called before trying to evaluate assembler code.
