The difference here is -mexplicit-relocs, which is the default for the
first one (cross) but not the second one (native).

The explicit-reloc support is enabled by a run-time configure test,
which tries to run the assembler to see if you have a new enough version
of GNU as that supports the necessary assembler reloc syntax.
Apparently this is going wrong with the native build.  Perhaps you have
a different binutils version, or perhaps there is a problem with your
PATH, or perhaps binutils and gcc weren't configured with the same
prefix, etc.

If you have the build trees, you can look at the gcc/config.h files and
note that one has HAVE_AS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS defined and the other doesn't.
