                    -march=native -mcpu=native works on arm64 M2 Ultra
           Product: gcc

On arm64 M2 Ultra (Apple Mac Studio (M2 Ultra, 2023)), -march=native or
-mcpu=native are ineffective, but -march=native -mcpu=native together works:

FWIW, I did try a patch per

it's the same issue, but it didn't help:

For -mcpu=native, the manual says:

Additionally on native AArch64 GNU/Linux systems the value
@samp{native} tunes performance to the host system.  This option has no effect
if the compiler is unable to recognize the processor of the host system.

With similar working for -march=native

Since nobody has contributed patches to recognize the Apple Silicon cores, I
suspect that is the source of the problem.

I'm missing why the combination then works though?

--- Comment #4 from Richard Earnshaw <rearnsha at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I'm not sure.  My understanding was that -march=native started by looking up
the CPU ID first and then using the internal mapping of that CPU to the
architecture (which can't work if we don't recognize the CPU), but perhaps we
try a bit harder when both are specified.

So we've made several changes here over time.

-mcpu=native does attempt to find the core id to know what it is, but since
GCC-12 we also enable extensions that don't have a requirement on an
architecture.

So for instance on an SVE capable core we would enable it, but we of course
can't enable a tuning model.

But between GCC 13 and GCC 14 many things have changes.  It looks like GCC-14
works as expected:

So first question is, can you confirm it does for GCC-14 for you too?

In the meantime I'll try GCC-13
