Let the compiler figure out the CPU. Change that line to...
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

The recommended way of doing things here is...
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
...which exactly copies whatever settings you have there.
Synchronization between CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS becomes automatic this way.

Arrrrrrrrgh Nooooooooo!!! That's probably your problem right there.
The recommendation in the manual is N+1, where N == number of cores. Do
you have 11 or more cores? I find that even that isn't always safe. I
set...
MAKEOPTS="-j 1"
and it solves quite a few problems. Note that the final binary is just
as fast, regardless of that setting. The compile speed is somewhat
faster with a higher number. But you quickly lose any "time savings"
from that, the first time you waste several hours trying to figure out
why something isn't compiling. MAKEOPTS="-j 1" should be mandatory.
