It's complaining about an illegal -march=armv7ve, which seems to have
been added since I last built for this machine with GCC 4.8:

commit c6a19917ec5350cdfc4053d14462609782613bbc
Author: Martin Jansa <Martin.Jansa at gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Oct 6 17:08:59 2015 +0200

     arch-armv7ve: add tune include for armv7ve and use it from cortexa7 and cortexa15

I'll see what I can do with this.  Duh, I should have looked at
the config.log before raising flags!
