configure fails on aarch64/rpi

Problem Description

building HandBrake-1.11.2/HandBrake git clone natively on an RPi5 fails with the error below.

As far as I know, nasm is an 80x86 assembler so the configure script should not look for it on aarch64.

Note that building nasm on the RPi5 allows the configure script to continue.

probe: build tuple...(pass) aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
find: ar...(pass) /usr/local/bin/ar
find: cp...(pass) /bin/cp
...
find: pkg-config...(pass) /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
find: meson...(pass) /usr/local/bin/meson
find: nasm...(fail) not found
  : name[0] = nasm
