40 I am now using core2 as I was having some really odd problems after
41 mixing flags after multiple hardware changes along with native. Core2
42 is recommended for this processor, and I cant see the two flags changed
43 via native making a difference, but the previous processors is no longer
44 available to check.
45
46 Perhaps someone could do the above and send me the result (the full "gcc
47 -Q --help=target -march=native", using gcc-4.5) for an intel E4600?
48 (the list probably wont be interested!)
