The configure script isn't "identifying" anything. It's just seeing
whether references to __crc32cb() etc will compile with different
-march flags. It's not apparent why a successful test of that sort
would not lead to a successful compilation with the same flags later
on. We might do a *run time* probe of the actual CPU type, but that
has nothing to do with compilation.
You still haven't told us which -march setting configure is selecting,
nor provided the config.log trace showing why it chose that one.
You also haven't described the compilation environment in any detail
--- eg, I still am not sure if this is a hard-float or soft-float
environment.
