It probably is added from here:

arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v7)		:=-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=7 $(call cc-option,-march=armv7-a,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv7-a)

The check for -march=armv7-a fails for some reason so the fallback is used.

I've seen this when CC is a wrapper and already adds -mcpu=... to the
commandline. In that case gcc now complains about the combination and the
check fails.
