`-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead. ^^ might wanna follow that, it solves 75% of all errors that come up with this warning. Also, verify this with 0.8.1, which is being pushed as the latest stable.
`-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead. I've tried all combinations, still the same result. I don't think that causes the problem though, since '-march=' implies '-mtune=' and I don't use '-mcpu='. On the other hand, 0.8.1 compiles fine with my CFLAGS, but there's a sound problem which I've already reported in your thread.
0.8.1 is going to be the stable asap, closing this as WONTFIX.
