ARM64 compilation on CentOS 7 / RHEL7 with GCC 4.8

ARM64 compilation on CentOS 7 / RHEL7 with GCC 4.8
The arm64 makefile sets the -mabi=lp64 CFLAG. It appears this ABI argument was added to GCC in 4.9 for AArch64. CentOS 7 / RHEL7 ship with GCC 4.8.

Compiling via
Code:
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ARCH=arm64 bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi
without this flag in 4.8.5 results in the error:

Code:
...

In file included from core/acpi_settings.c:34:0:

Compiling natively
Code:
make ARCH=arm64 bin-arm-efi/snp.efi -j 8
on a aarch64 machine results in a similar error with the flag removed:

Code:
[BUILD] bin-arm-efi/pc_kbd.o
