I have a question, as someone reading this conversation ....

If one is using cross-compilation -- as it sounded like the original
author might be doing, what could the compiler know about the target
machine?

Is there some sort of "profile-this-cpu-for-pertinent-options" binary
or compiler-option that one should(or could) run on the target
machine in order that the correct compiler switches be set?

Otherwise, it would seem that -march=native would only be useful for
the (probably majority of) cases where one is compiling for their own
machine (?).
