René,

I'm not a makefile guru, but here's what I would try.  Edit the CFLAGS line and
just delete the entries for -DCPU and -march.  gcc should be smart enough to 
know which architecture to build.

If this doesn't work, can you provide the link to the HOWTO for installing it?

If it does work, please let us know.
