Using -march=native is unacceptable unless the user has that in
their CFLAGS.

Yes, it needs to be disabled by default and shouldn't be an option.
It should ideally also be pulled up to the stable branch if we
can't get this in in time.

It needs to "--disable BUILD_NATIVE" using menuselect, but I don't
understand how this works. Asterisk's build system is very strange.
