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':

                    ^
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.

Subject: [PATCH] build: Fix compilation error on CentOS 8 Stream

* configure.ac (USE_AVX512_CRC32): Set to false if the function
_mm512_set_epi8 does not exist.
