"-mcpu=cpu type
Assume the defaults for the machine type cpu type when scheduling
instructions. The choices for cpu type are: `i386'  `i486'  `i586'  `i686'
`pentium'  `pentiumpro'  `k6'
While picking a specific cpu type will schedule things appropriately for
that particular chip, the compiler will not generate any code that does not
run on the i386 without the `-march=cpu type' option being used. `i586' is
equivalent to `pentium' and `i686' is equivalent to `pentiumpro'. `k6' is
the AMD chip as opposed to the Intel ones.
-march=cpu type
Generate instructions for the machine type cpu type. The choices for cpu
type are the same as for `-mcpu'. Moreover, specifying `-march=cpu type'
implies `-mcpu=cpu type'. "
