Indirect branch tracking is a hardware security feature that verifies near
indirect call/jump instructions arrive at intended targets, which are
labeled by the compiler with ENDBR opcodes.  If such instructions reach
unlabeled locations, the processor raises control-protection faults.

Check the compiler is up-to-date at config time.
