The error does come from GCC.  It presumably has something to do with
the -mcpu=cortex-m3 option.  I don't see how it could happen with
mainline GCC.  It looks like you are using a CodeSourcery toolchain;
you may want to ask them for support.  Perhaps that toolchain does not
have cortex-m3 support.

By the way, I assume that you intend to compile for the ARM processor;
you didn't really say.
