I can include this in the commit log from GCC-8.4 (the same thing works with
GCC-10.2):
In file included from ../lib/librte_eal/arm/include/rte_vect.h:11,
from ../lib/librte_net/net_crc_neon.c:10:
../lib/librte_net/net_crc_neon.c: In function ‘crcr32_folding_round’:
/usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/8/include/arm_neon.h:26094:1: error: inlining
failed in call to always_inline ‘vmull_p64’: target specific option mismatch
vmull_p64 (poly64_t a, poly64_t b)
^~~~~~~~~

uint64x2_t tmp1 = vreinterpretq_u64_p128(vmull_p64(

And for clang:
gcc -E -dM -mcpu="native" - < /dev/null | grep __ARM_FEATURE_ATOMICS
#define __ARM_FEATURE_ATOMICS 1 # gcc support
clang-9 -E -dM -mcpu="native" - < /dev/null | grep __ARM_FEATURE_ATOMICS
<no output> # clang no support

Yes. The fix is to remove the usage of native flags and instead always use the
part_number flags.

There already is one:
Fixes: 78ac8eac7e8a ("config/arm: use native machine build arguments")
