There's a substantional difference between -mcpu and -march:

: -mcpu=3Dcpu type
:        Assume  the defaults for the machine type CPU TYPE when schedul-
:        ing instructions.  The choices for CPU  TYPE  are:  i386,  i486,
:        i586  (pentium),  pentium,  i686  (pentiumpro),  and pentiumpro.
:        While picking a specific CPU TYPE will schedule things appropri-
:        ately  for  that particular chip, the compiler will not generate
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:        any code that does not run on the i386  without  the  -march=3Dcpu
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:        type option being used.

: -march=3Dcpu type
:        Generate instructions for the machine type CPU TYPE.  The choic-
:        es for CPU TYPE are: i386, i486, pentium, and pentiumpro.  Spec-
:        ifying -march=3Dcpu type implies -mcpu=3Dcpu type.
