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.
