I'm not a maintainer but I'd argue the entire test is bogus.
The error reporting in this area seems to be somewhat fragile, if you
compile it with '-march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=soft', you also don't get
the error this is testing for. I'd argue this kind of user friendly
error message should just go through the #include <arm_neon.h> and if a
user is using __builtin's directly like this then they better know what
they are doing and so 'useful' errors are probably less of a priority.
In case you are wondering: no we don't offer nice errors when '#include
<arm_neon.h>' is compiled with a MVE enabled combination of march/mcpu,
but the errors are somewhat friendlier if you compile a '#include
<arm_mve.h>' with a NEON enabled command line.
Anyway, lets see what Richard says.

Ok for trunk and releases/gcc-14?

Cortex-M55 supports VFP, but does not contain neon, so the test is
invalid in this context.
Without this patch, the following error can be seen in the logs:
.../attr-neon-builtin-fail2.c: In function 'foo':
.../attr-neon-builtin-fail2.c:13:27: error: implicit declaration of function
'__builtin_neon_vaddlsv8qi'; did you mean '__builtin_neon_vabshf'?

to vector type '__simd128_int16_t' which has different size
