The above suggests that `/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14 -std=gnu23 ... -mavx512bw -mavx512f -mvpclmulqdq ... -arch x86_64`
isn't enough to support building with AVX-512 ISA.

That should be fine though if the same determination is made at configure time,
which would cause USE_AVX512_CRC32 to _not_ be defined.
You should be able to see the configure time checks with:

  grep -A3 'avx512 pclmul intrinsic exists' config.log

cheers,
Pádraig

p.s. I'm surprised you need autoconf when building from Paul's snapshot,
are you further patching ac files during the macports build or something?
