Hi I am not well versed with the various stages involved building gcc so apologise if I use incorrect terminology. I am running CentOS 6.6 and trying to compile and use gcc-4.9.2. I am able to compile gcc-4.9.2 when using the systems gcc (4.4.7). However when my CFLAG and CXXFLAG are set to "-march=native" the build fails. Error pasted below. After compiling gcc-4.9.2 with CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS unset, I tried compiling gcc-4.9.2 with the newly compiled gcc-4.9.2. It appears that during the bootstrap stage "-march=native" is always used as I had not explicitly set it. The build process fails with the same error as the one using gcc-4.4.7 with -march=native. I am unable to build gcc-4.9.2 with gcc-4.9.2 no matter what I try. Interested to know why this is the case or if I am doing something incorrectly. It not a major issue as the gcc-4.9.2 compiled with system gcc without -march=native appears to be working fine. My CPU arch is a Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 (haswell).
