	To clarify: -march=pentium3 was not supported in the gcc 2.95.3
	shipped with 1.6.x, while -march=pentiumpro was (codegen issues
	aside). I've used -march=pentiumpro on 1.6.x and did nto see any
	problems with apps which I didnt also see without
	-march=pentiumpro. I can quite believe there are codegen issues,
	just I've been lucky enough not to be hit by them :)
