This was my original intent with commenting out the '-march=native', it
just seemed that it cropped up as a build error more often with arm*
processors.

As far as aarch64 goes, it doesn't build fully in either case, but the
error I experienced with '-march=native' is gone when I add gcc-7 as a
native-input.
