x86_64 and x32 on CET processors.
+'--enable-memory-tagging'
+ Enable memory tagging support on architectures that support it.
+ When the GNU C Library is built with this option then the resulting
+ library will be able to control the use of tagged memory when
+ hardware support is present by use of the tunable
+ 'glibc.memtag.enable'. This includes the generation of tagged
+ memory when using the 'malloc' APIs.
+
+ At present only AArch64 platforms with MTE provide this
+ functionality, although the library will still operate (without
+ memory tagging) on older versions of the architecture.
+
+ The default is to disable support for memory tagging.

'--disable-profile'
Don't build libraries with profiling information. You may want to
use this option if you don't plan to do profiling.
