Bisecting showed that this bug was introduced on nightly at 2024-02-13 - the same day LLVM 18 was merged.

[bk-eclipse]

A workaround is to disable the target feature sha3:

RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=-sha3" cargo b --release --target aarch64-apple-darwin

I replicated this bug on Mac OS. The same code on the same (and newer) nightlies compiles on Linux. This is a Darwin-specific problem

[bk-eclipse]

It looks like the compiler tries to optimize this code with a special xar instruction. This seem to fails because the SIMD requires only one lane here.

Upstream issue: llvm/llvm-project#141746

Fresh!
