Assembler error in Linux raspberrypi 4.1.19-v7+ armv7l GNU/Linux

Question

I was trying to build a project from https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/wiki/COOJA-Interface

But when I am trying to launch cooja interface with command make cooja-small it fails with this error log:

I've installed the arm-none-eabi-gcc -v toolchain

What might be the cause???

Using x86 instruction set on ARMv7 based processor? I assume you intend to cross compile from an x86/x86-64 proc to the Pi target; but what is the host machine? — InfinitelyManic, Mar 23 '17 at 15:37

It seems like this code is meant for 64bits compiling while the raspberry pi 2 has a 32bits processor (ARM is 32bits). The popl instruction is 64bits. The 32bits equivalent is popq.

Referring to x86 Assembly pushl/popl don't work with "Error: suffix or operands invalid" and https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=27761
