-march=native implies -mtune=native so I think the latter is redundant.

bootstrap-O3 uses
BOOT_CFLAGS := -O3 $(filter-out -O%, $(BOOT_CFLAGS))
so do you want to filer-out other -march/-mtune/-mcpu options?
Some targets know -mcpu= instead of -march=, did you check whether
any of those have =native?
