From 8bbb58a3c6b9f12b2217b8ae08e70a6d2f556f73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Przywara Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2021 16:53:31 +0000 Subject: kselftest/arm64: mte: Output warning about failing compiler At the moment we check the compiler's ability to compile MTE enabled code, but guard all the Makefile rules by it. As a consequence a broken or not capable compiler just doesn't do anything, and make happily returns without any error message, but with no programs created. Since the MTE feature is only supported by recent aarch64 compilers (not all stable distro compilers support it), having an explicit message seems like a good idea. To not break building multiple targets, we let make proceed without errors.
