28 For an 900A w/intel Atom?

30 This is what I get:
31
32 Warning: Your compiler supports the -march=native option which you may prefer
33 Warning: Newer versions of GCC better support your CPU with -march=atom
34 -march=core2 -mtune=pentium -mfpmath=sse.
35
36 Now I'm confused. It says *my* compiler supports -march=native. Then it says "Newer versions". Isn't v4.3.2 new? It was from a new pkg about a month ago. Is it giving me a choice here? Can I really declare two -march variables? What about mtune and mfpath, are they meant to be "instead of" or "in addition to"? What goes in the kernel config? What in /etc/paludis/bashrc?
