In my case, I only used -march in my kernel config:

    makeoptions    CPUFLAGS+="-march=athlon -mmmx -msse"

(IIRC, I don't have access to the machine right now).  It (or rather
'they'--I have a removable disk carrier that I can move between a number
of machines) are all older Athlon-based machines of various speeds.
The 550MHz and 1300MHz machines all have VIA ASICs/audio.  The 1410MHz
machine has Acer ASICs and cmpci audio.

I didn't use -march anywhere else--definitely not in my /etc/mk.conf.

Does the pkgsrc machinery attempt to deduce what it thinks is an optimum
setting of "-march", or is it capable of pulling it out of the kernel
anywhere?
