--- Comment #2 from Pacho Ramos <pacho at condmat1 dot ciencias.uniovi.es> 2011-09-24 13:46:00 UTC --- Because I wanted to confirm it from upstream as looked strange to me that both mtune options are allowed if they do the same. Why do you keep both? Thanks for the info :) About the man page I am referring that both options (k8 and k8-sse3) are referred as mtune options (not only for -march)
