Right now it seems the effect of -m3dnowa happens only if -march= > for a CPU that includes 3dnowa is included. This option is marked as Undocumented in i386.opt. Ages ago, it made sense to switch it only with -march= option. Nowadays we should handle it as we handle other options. So, your patch is OK in this regard, but please remove Undocumented from i386.opt and add this option to doc/invoke.texi.
