How about something like this:

ifeq ($(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8),)
$(warning ARMv8 Crypto Extensions need binutils 2.23 or higher)
else
...
endif

That would basically be a reimplementation of the missing "as-option-yn"
macro though, so we could also add that instead and do

ifeq ($(call as-option-yn,-Wa$(comma)-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8),y)
$(warning ARMv8 Crypto Extensions need binutils 2.23 or higher)
else
...
endif
