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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
