--mcpu=pentium3 is what you have in your CFLAGS, that is not a correct flag. Please correct it and try again.
"--mcpu=pentium3" is wrong "-mcpu=pentium3" is right thankyou
I have an user here who solved this problem by changing -march=pentium4 to -march=pentium3, go figure.

ok, i dont see a bug, just a user who used bad CFLAGS
