I don't know if the issue on main is really resolved.
It happened when OBS job was scheduled to thunderxt88 hardware. The issue looks like compiler flag related.

Issue on CentOS 7 is because compiler being too old. 
Some log here:
[  173s] Compiler for C supports arguments -march=armv8.1-a+crc+crypto: NO
[  173s] Compiler for C supports arguments -mcpu=thunderx2t99: NO

This was discussed in earlier release status meeting. I think the conclusion was to ignore this failure.
