I think this is incorrect.  On the Sun, -fast will set or modify 
architecture specific settings.

 From the Sun CC man page under the -fast description...

                Incorrect:

                example% CC -xarch=v9 -fast test.cc

                Correct:

                example% CC -fast -xarch=v9 test.cc

So we always want -fast to precede architecture specific options like 
-xarch and -xtarget on the command line.
