OK with this fixes below.

Use

  #define HAVE_AARCH64_PAC_RET 0

instead so we can check the define value instead of the its existence.

I am not sure this expression is doing what it is intended to do,
I think you are matching the gcc output because it also add an
extra comment with 'paciasp'.

I think what you need here is "(hint[[:space:]]+25|paciasp)".
