Hmm. This is very strange. Are you sure you are using an i386 compiler, i.e.
a native Linux compiler?
As Arduino is moving to arm-gcc 4.8.3 for Arduino Due, and we will be moving to
arm-gcc 4.8 for our board-native binaries, for the emulator we must match that
with an i386-gcc 4.8.x. Or, actually, i386-gcc 4.7.x is enough. I'm using
myself gcc 4.7.1 because I'm too lazy to move to 4.8 at the moment. Hence, we
will continue to support gcc 4.7 for a while, too.
Hence, you have to install gcc 4.8.3-latest (or 4.7.latest) as a native
compiler to your Linux, and compile the emulator with that. I don't know
Linux well enough so that I could help in that.

Firstly, you still have -std=c++98 there. That is wrong, please go back to
C++11 standard. You will hit problems later on, we *are* using C++11 constexpr
and some other C++11 stuff, and those parts of the source won't compile with
c++98.
Second, it looks very much like the g++ you are using on the command line is an
arm-gcc, not i386-gcc, as it seems to accept the -mthumb flag and especially if
it is complaining about -march=i386.
Hence, I'm suspecting that you are somehow using a wrong version of the
compiler. Please check.

Hmm. I expect this is quite normal and that we will encounter this many times
as more people come along. It is often very confusing with multiple compilers
when working with embedded systems.
Hence it would be very good to write a wiki page on the compilation
environment, creating very clear instructions how to compile the arm-gcc cross
compiler for the board-native binaries and how to compile the i386-gcc native
compiler for the emulator binaries.
Anyone wants to help Asif in creating such a wiki page? Teemu? Eero? Ivan?
