*Groan* you're right.  Blitering idiots... they only present __i386__ 
and whatever *exact* CPU you have -march= for, which of course is a 
*CHANGING SET* (just __i486__, __i586__ and __i686__ isn't enough... 
they seem to also have __core2__, __k8__ and $DEITY knows what else.)

The only sensible way to handle that would be to centralize that 
knowledge in a header file.
