unrecognized command line option '-march' when I try to make install yuvmotionfps - linux

Question

When I try to install yuvmotionfps-1.6 (http://jcornet.free.fr/linux/yuvmotionfps.html).
I run into the following error when running make, it seems like (gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-march') is the problem.
How do I fix this?
Here is the output of my install process (I truncated some of the seemingly unnecessary output):

Answer 1

It seems like for some reason the following error message crept in the makefiles when autogen.sh was run:
CFLAGS='Your does not even support "i386" for '-march' and '-mcpu'. -g -O2 -pthread -Wall -Wunused'
I removed the sentence 'Your does not even support "i386" for '-march' and '-mcpu'. from all the makefiles. That lead to a successful compilation.
