Thanks for looking into it,

I've been going partially of the clang
manpage<http://linux.die.net/man/1/clang>,
but more off of the output I get when building with Xcode / clang 4.0 and
comparing the full build commands. clang does have the -march option, but
it doesn't seem to be the correct one..

Cheers,
Rich
