...The diff[1] between u2 and u3 contains

  -c++ -fno-stack-protector `pkg-config --cflags --libs libhwy` -x c++ - -o o <<EOF
  +cflags=$(pkg-config --cflags --libs libhwy)

so although in u2 the pkg-config also failed as per its log[2], it didn't trigger a shell exit (through the 'set -e' behavior), even though we would want it to fail the test. In the u3 version, it does trigger the shell exit[3].

To top the confusion, turns out the Highway's cflags are not really necessary to compile the program, so that u2 actually executed it without issues.
