But for the scripts, you won't be using the cross compiler, they are
native to your arch.

Check your environment, are CC and CFLAGS set ? How exactly are you
invoking that command (i.e. from where, just a shell in the kernel
source directory?). If non native flags and compiler is leaking into
the build, you'll get exactly the error that you are seeing.

 From the error, looks like the native gcc was used, and it was fed
the ARM flags. Not what it'll like :)

Cheers,

Bruce
