zeromaster, you haven't provided us with the actual error that is causing the compile to fail. Can you provide the full compile output along with the config.log file both as attachments. This will allow us to have a look at what is going wrong.
i solved the problem as i took the preseted cflags("-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer")
