Yes, but I think this error is a little unfriendly to users using a
lower version of host GCC when cross compiling.
Perhaps "#if gcc_version > = 51000" could be added to avoid the error
'Undefined __has_attribute'
or we can add `#error "hostcc don't support _has_attribute` to remind
the user of the cause of the error.
Or just use my previous patch.
I hope we can do something here to promote the situation as Nathan talked
before:
