[Bug target/17989] New: Add a warning for more than one -march option on command line

[giovannibajo at libero dot it]

It looks like conflicting -march options are not handled correctly. 
Specifically, if you specify both "-march=athlon-xp -march=pentium" on the 
command line, GCC still emits MMX instructions.

I think that the code parsing the -march option in the backend assumes that 
only one option is specified at a time. My suggestion is to emit a warning() if 
more than one option is found on the command line, which is easier to code and 
does not need to be maintained in future.

This bug report was a response to PR 17990 where we thought that -march=pentium was coming after 
the other march but I just tested that and it works.  With -march=pentium we don't output mmx/sse 
instructions at all.
