Can you check if this patch is still necessary if we apply #47589 ? |

Looks necessary for mimalloc 3.1.5. The default setting is still armv8.1-a unless this option is set. |
…ble binary Mimalloc default generates LSE atomic instructions only work on armv8.1. This causes illegal instruction on armv8.0 platforms like Raspberry4. This PR sets mimalloc build flag -DMI_NO_OPT_ARCH=ON to disable LSE instruction. Please note even with flag set, compiler and libc will replace the atmoic call with an ifunc that matches hardware best at runtime. That means LSE is used only if the running platform supports it.
