0.6.14 Build Failed BeagleBone Angstrom

I'm trying to build the 0.6.14 version on a BeagleBone running Angstrom linux v2012.02-core. Here is the end of the make command where the build failed:

V8 fails to detect the architecture it's compiling for. Adding -march=x to the compiler flags lets you work around that (where x is the name of your particular architecture, like armv6 or armv7). #2131 has a comprehensive writeup on how to patch the build system.

Thanks so much.
