I can promise that I did not modify the CFLAGS for some source files
only unless the Makefile did, it certainly wasn't a willful choice on my
end.
My system CFLAGS build EVERYTHING with -march=native and in this case it
tries to build the standard x86_64 target and dies.
FYI bug 1: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405941 bug 2:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405927
bug 405941 is the error without the jumbo patch applied and 405927 is
the error with the jumbo patch applied. I can replicate both of these
errors at will, and my fix of using the correct target worked for both
(as you may imagine).
If you need anything else around this I'm happy to help but please be
sure to email me and cc the list as I'll likely drop off the list in a
few days.
Thanks for your fantastic product and well documented Makefile, next
time I will be sure to read it sooner ;-)
