Could you explain *why* you propose this - what relevant features are 
brought in by that version, whose absence is problematic for building 
glibc?

I thought you already had a configure check for AVX512 assembler support, 
and conditional code allowing for it being absent - so either some code 
isn't properly conditioned, or some other feature is being required by the 
libmvec code.
