Probably you need to add check here for non x86 as no-avx512f valid only
for x86.

➜ [ctest] $ cat target.c 
void __attribute__((target("no-avx512f"))) test_fn(void)
{

}

int main(void)
{
	test_fn();
}

➜ [ctest] $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wall target.c 
target.c:5:1: error: pragma or attribute 'target("no-avx512f")' is not
valid
 {
 ^
➜ [ctest] $ gcc -Wall target.c 
➜ [ctest] $
