Can you give more details on how to reproduce this build failure? I.e
your Buildroot .config and toolchain (if you're using an external
toolchain) ?

This looks wrong, because BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH is what is already passed
to gcc as -march through the toolchain wrapper, so I don't see why we
get this issue.
