Several problems with arm64 have been reported for libgcrypt-1.9.0, e.g.
https://dev.gnupg.org/T5251

I suggest to report your findings also at https://dev.gnupg.org/ to ensure 
that it's fixed in 1.9.1.

Also: The gcrypt-devel mailing list [1] is better suited for reports/questions 
about libgcrypt.
