Summary

If the extension string "+pacbti" was given in -march=... or -mcpu=... options the compiler shall define the following preprocessor macros:

__ARM_FEATURE_PAUTH with value 1.
__ARM_FEATURE_BTI with value 1.

Since we decided to have two separate flags, I think this line should be in a separate if statement: if (HasBTI).

Agree. If this ever changes, we'd have to modify only around lines 550.
