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.
