Another datapoint. . .

I changed make.conf on, I believe, Dec. 6: 

   # CFLAGS= -O -pipe
   CFLAGS= -O -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro

(There's also:

   COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe)

(I gather that -mcpu is redundant.)  I re-cvsup, buildworld, and
installworld (and kernel. . .) roughly weekly (7 times, by my logs).
Until the CPUTYPE discussion came up, I had forgotten I was trying out
-march; everything seems to be working fine.  The machine is:

   FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Fri Feb 23 07:17:24 EST 2001
       root@knock.econ.vt.edu:/disk1/obj/usr/src/sys/KNOCK

   real memory  = 268435456 (262144K bytes)
   avail memory = 257609728 (251572K bytes)
