You misunderstood me.

There are 4 possibilities (all non gnu compilers not defining __GNU__
1. supports gnu asm()       , asm being actived (-arch= / uname)
2. doesnt supports gnu asm(), asm being actived (-arch= / uname)
3. supports gnu asm()       , asm not being actived (-arch= / uname)
4. doesnt supports gnu asm(), asm not being actived (-arch= / uname)

with #error all 1,2,3,4 will fail one way or the other as they hit #error
without #error 3,4 will always succeed, 2 will always fail, and 1 will fail
at runtime if and only if the asm code needs alignment and it isnt provided

the code reads
#ifdef __GNU__
#else
#error
#endif

This is not protected by any ARCH_X86 or HAVE_ASM or anything else
it plain ans simple drop support for non gnu compilers.
