Intel 386 and AMD x86-64 Options
       These -m options are defined for the i386 and x86-64 family of computers:

       -mtune=cpu-type
           Tune to cpu-type everything applicable about the generated code, except for the ABI and the set of available instructions.  The choices for cpu-type are:

           generic
               Produce code optimized for the most common IA32/AMD64/EM64T processors.  If you know the CPU on which your code will run, then you should use the corresponding -mtune option instead of
               -mtune=generic.  But, if you do not know exactly what CPU users of your application will have, then you should use this option.

               As new processors are deployed in the marketplace, the behavior of this option will change.  Therefore, if you upgrade to a newer version of GCC, the code generated option will change to
               reflect the processors that were most common when that version of GCC was released.

               There is no -march=generic option because -march indicates the instruction set the compiler can use, and there is no generic instruction set applicable to all processors.  In contrast,
               -mtune indicates the processor (or, in this case, collection of processors) for which the code is optimized.

           native
               This selects the CPU to tune for at compilation time by determining the processor type of the compiling machine.  Using -mtune=native will produce code optimized for the local machine under
               the constraints of the selected instruction set.  Using -march=native will enable all instruction subsets supported by the local machine (hence the result might not run on different
               machines).
