Eager to fire my new-found gun in the direction of my feet I built
world and kernel last night with -0s -march=pentium. So far so good
(although I haven't given it a real workout yet). Now that I now
'pentiumpro' should be a better choice, I'll give that a whirl
tonight. After reading the man page I had to agree with your point that
-march seemed like a better option, and I don't have cross-platform issues
to deal with here.
