So the C compiler in your distribution (apparently gcc-4.9.2) seems
to have been built for a machine with some capabilities that the
machine you are using does not support or implement.

Your best bet is probably to try a different Linux distribution.
I'm afraid I can not make a recommendation. Several distributions
ship broken toolchains. Investigate what distributions others have
used for development (of any kind, not coreboot) with your particular
combination of hardware and hypervisor.
