No, it can not.  Please file a bug (<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html>) if
this happens to you.  Thanks!

--with-arch= only sets the *default* options, the user can override this
always (with an -march= option, say).

That is how things are supposed to work, already.  Either libgcc uses
only instructions that work everywhere, or libgcc is multilibbed, things
like that.  In all normal cases this is completely transparent to the
compiler user.
