I couldn't find a clear statement in the gas documentation on what
happens if multiple -march options are passed. I think it's safer to
avoid this here.

I have a suspicion both of these options will break the LLVM integrated
assembler but we don't officially support it on arm64 yet (-Wa, doesn't
seem to get passed to the integrated asm).

Thanks for the re-spin.
