There is no CFLAGS validation present which may give error with non 
supported compiler.

Can you add a check something like,

+#check if the compiler works well
+pauth_cc_support := $(shell if ($(CC) $(CFLAGS) -march=armv8.3-a -E -x 
c /dev/null -o /dev/null 2>&1) then echo "1"; fi)
+
+ifeq ($(pauth_cc_support),1)
  TEST_GEN_PROGS := pac
  TEST_GEN_FILES := pac_corruptor.o
+endif

  include ../../lib.mk

+ifeq ($(pauth_cc_support),1)
  # pac* and aut* instructions are not available on architectures berfore
  # ARMv8.3. Therefore target ARMv8.3 wherever they are used directly
  $(OUTPUT)/pac_corruptor.o: pac_corruptor.S

Please delete extra line at end of file here and other places too.

Other changes look fine for me. After the suggested changes please free 
to add,
