I spent some time today trying to reproduce this, without success.
One thing I noticed is that Debian 11 seems to have shipped with
gcc 10.2.1, while gcc 12.2.0 comes with Debian 12 (Bookworm).
I don't doubt that you can get gcc 12 for Debian 11, but I wonder
if there's some OS-vs-compiler version skew underlying this issue
for you.

The real question though is how the configure test could succeed
only to get a failure in the main build.  If you would get
"undefined reference to `__crc32cb'" etc in the main build,
the configure probe should have failed in the same way.
I tried assorted -march settings with both of those gcc versions
and it acted as-expected for me.
