[U-Boot] Make error in U-boot branch v2015.10-rc5

[Arunashis Ghose]

Hi,

Thanks for reading this email and I would be grateful if you have time to help me fix the issue.

I am very much new to U-boot world and trying to build U-boot in my machine for a particular board - 'Marvel Armada 38x'. While I was trying to compile the u-boot fork for Marvel (in github), I got following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**** [Building U-BOOT]    *****

cc1: error: bad value (armv7-a) for -march= switch
cc1: error: bad value (armv7-a) for -march= switch
lib/asm-offsets.c:1:0: error: bad value (armv7-a) for -march= switch
 /*
 ^
Makefile:716: recipe for target 'lib/asm-offsets.s' failed
make: *** [lib/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

 *** Error: Build failed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't figure out what is causing it and a way to fix it.

Then I thought I would try to build u-boot original. I checked out the branch v2015.10-rc5 of u-boot and tried to build it for board - 'bananapro' (a random choice). I got a similar error:

Can anyone give me a clue? Thanks a lot.
