Thank you for you help, Mihai.  My branch was not on the top.

Sorry, but that cannot be true. I don't know WHAT repository master branch
you're building off, but it is certainly there in
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blame/master/target/arm/cpu64.c?page=2#L1309
and has been like that for about a month.

Are you sure that you're a.) actually on the current master branch HEAD and b.)
not using a weird out-of-date repository?

As to other capabilities and the actual implementation status, I cannot offer
any advice.

source code.
