That's obviously not what you typed.  The options all start with a
double dash (--), and are not misspelled.  Please paste exactly what
you typed in future.

You should specify a --cpu option, e.g. --cpu=arm1136jf-s.  I have no
idea what CPU the iphone uses, that's just an example of an ARMv6
processor.  To optimise for a generic ARMv6, use --cpu=armv6.  There
is no need to explicitly enable or disable CPU extensions.  The
configure scripts sets these automatically if you specify the correct
--cpu value.

You also need to specify a --cross-prefix or --cc option, unless "gcc"
actually runs the correct cross-compiler.  The error message looks
like you tried to use an x86 compiler while telling the FFmpeg build
system you are building for ARM.
