I am nervous about this on the Alpha unless very well tested. We all
know that an ev4 system as the ev4 cannot handled ev56-only instructions.
[note the release building box and package cluster are ev56 machines]
According to the GCC manual for 3.0 (in development), -mcpu on the Alpha
includes the functionality of -march:
-mcpu=cpu_type
Set the instruction set, register set, and instruction scheduling
parameters for machine type cpu_type. You can specify either the
`EV' style name or the corresponding chip number. GCC supports
scheduling parameters for the EV4 and EV5 family of processors and
will choose the default values for the instruction set from the
processor you specify. If you do not specify a processor type, GCC
will default to the processor on which the compiler was built.
Supported values for cpu_type are
`ev4'
`21064' Schedules as an EV4 and has no instruction set extensions.
`ev5'
`21164' Schedules as an EV5 and has no instruction set extensions.
`ev56'
`21164a' Schedules as an EV5 and supports the BWX extension.
`pca56'
`21164pc'
`21164PC' Schedules as an EV5 and supports the BWX and MAX extensions.
`ev6'
`21264' Schedules as an EV5 (until Digital releases the
scheduling parameters for the EV6) and supports the BWX,
CIX, and MAX extensions.
The part about the "if you do not specify a processor type", doesn't seem
correct as our Alpha release are built on an ev5 or ev56 system, and
they've always been installable on ev4 systems.
