Comment 1 Hongxu Jia 2013-07-12 07:00:25 UTC 
gcc 4.1.2 doesn't support option `-march=native'.

It is supported in 4.2 or later, see details:

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/changes.html

You could update your host gcc to fix this.
So, I think it's not a bug.
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2013-07-15 17:23:58 UTC 
Assigning to Randy as Mark tells me he's working on a fix for this.
Comment 3 Richard Purdie 2014-07-24 15:33:24 UTC 
At this project gcc 4.1.2 is old and isn't something the project is planning to support.
