The machine is: The -mcpu is redundant -march includes it. Will also reiterate that combining -march with optimization levels other than -O (-O2, -O3, -Os) does tend to break more often than not. Using -mcpu is much less problematic. Will be curious to see using -O2 for world and kernel builds will break with the new flags. Matt may have given up on it, but it has been working (again) for months now. Keep expecting it to break, which these changes most likely will. The text in make.conf is sufficient, but at first the name of the flag (CPUTYPE) made me think more of -mcpu than -march. At least the gcc flag is on the same line and it should not matter. Those tweaking the flags are on there own and should be familiar the mechanisms involved. Am also curious if some port builds might be affected.
