gcc-10 knows the 'access' attribute, but not the 'none' variant:

echo 'int f(void *p) __attribute__((access(none, 1)));' | /home/arnd/cross/arm64/gcc-10.5.0-nolibc/aarch64-linux/bin/aarch64-linux-gcc  -xc - -o /dev/null  -c
<stdin>:1:1: error: attribute 'access' invalid mode 'none'; expected one of 'read_only', 'read_write', or 'write_only'
