Strictly speaking, AFAIR, putting hard-coded '-march=native' is a bug - because 
it applies only to x86 and x86_64 architectures.

Another issue is that llvm-g++-4.2doesn't understand it even though you are 
apparently using an x86 or x86_64 machine.

Try hacking the package maybe ? It should be a simple change.
