This fundamentally cannot break something outside of the RISC-V //target//, it 
is applicable to any and all hosts.  However, the condition ensures that RISC-V 
support is not enabled when building the compiler.

  #ifndef __riscv_vector
  #error "Vector intrinsics require the vector extension."
  #endif

`__riscv_vector` is in the implementation's namespace, so the user may not 
define this (it is defined by the compiler when targeting a RISCV core with the 
V extension).  Trying to use `-target riscv32-unknown-*-*` or `-target 
riscv64-unknown-*-*` (not literally, but with a concrete value), will fail due 
to RISCV support being disabled in the build.  That is, the header cannot be 
used on any machine when not targeting RISCV.  Because RISCV is not enabled, it 
is safe to elide the header.
