Ah right, it seems this fails on GCC 8 without your patch.

Pushed.

Marking this as done.

thanks!

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Testing a current coreutils with a current gnulib on CentOS 8 and
CentOS 8 Stream, I see the same compilation error on both:

  CC       src/libcksum_avx512_a-cksum_avx512.o
../src/cksum_avx512.c: In function 'cksum_avx512':
../src/cksum_avx512.c:60:22: warning: implicit declaration of function '_mm512_set_epi8'; did you mean '_mm512_set1_epi8'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   shuffle_constant = _mm512_set_epi8 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                      _mm512_set1_epi8
../src/cksum_avx512.c:60:20: error: incompatible types when assigning to type '__m512i' {aka '__vector(8) long long int'} from type 'int'
   shuffle_constant = _mm512_set_epi8 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
                    ^
make[2]: *** [Makefile:20396: src/libcksum_avx512_a-cksum_avx512.o] Error 1

The cause is that USE_AVX512_CRC32 was determined to be true at configure
time, although the compiler does not support all builtin functions used
by cksum_avx512.c.

This proposed patch fixed it. I verified that on Ubuntu 24.04 and
CentOS Stream 9, USE_AVX512_CRC32 remains true.
