It isn't:

cventin:~> diff -u <(gcc -Q --help=target --help=params -march=haswell) \
                   <(gcc -Q --help=target --help=params -march=native)

I don't understand "_if_ the compiler knows about your CPU": if the
compiler knows about the CPU, it should select more accurate options
(as shown above, where abm and aes get enabled), shouldn't it?
