Hi Linaro Toolchain Group,

I have questions regarding -mfpu=neon and -march=native w.r.t aarch64 linaro native toolchain (aarch64-linux-gnu)

I found gcc is not accepting these flags. 

On juno Board:

gcc -mfpu=neon hello.c -o hello

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mfpu=neon'

gcc -march=native hello.c -o hello

hello.c:1:0: error: unknown value 'native' for –march

Am I missing something ? Please help.

Below is the machine details

uname -a

Linux juno 3.10.55.0-1-linaro-lt-vexpress64 #1ubuntu1~ci+141022094025 SMP Wed Oct 22 09:41:06 UTC 2014 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

gcc -v

Using built-in specs.
