We have to use this c-compiler option to build out the SVE ABIs (e.g. 
`svfloat32_t sinfx_u10sve(svfloat32_t input)`) in `libvmath.so`. Without this 
option, at build time, all the sve related featues like `arm_sve.h / 
__ARM_FEATURE_SVE` are missing, together with the sve symbols in `libvmath.so` 
we needed at runtime.  That means at runtime, hotspot cannot find out the sve 
symbols and the vector operations will fall back to the default java 
implementation.
