Yes, you're right about this part. I looked into why this exists and its a
workaround for two (older) compiler bugs. With Clang (older than 20) the
Vector header used to only expose Vector builtins if the option
-march=rv64gcv1p0 was used which was removed. With GCC (older
than 15.2) there was an issue with Vector builtins and an interaction
with LTO which resulted in them being disabled unless -march=rv64gcv1p0
was used as a workaround.

I'll see about possibly getting this removed now that the root issues
have been fixed.
