Found some more:

Bad:  -march=k6                   -Wa,-mtune=generic32
Bad:  -march=geode                -Wa,-mtune=generic32
Bad:  -march=c3                   -Wa,-mtune=generic32

That seems every thing which has MMX support but no SSE and is somehow
compatible to the pentium-mmx.

Looks like the code generator optimization for those was done after
consuming the secret gcc-shrooms.

Thanks,
