man gcc:


   -march=cpu-type
       Generate instructions for the machine type cpu-type.
       The choices for cpu-type are the same as for -mcpu.
       Moreover, specifying -march=cpu-type implies
       -mcpu=cpu-type.

newer linux users won't build packages :-)
moreover, if they don't know how to alter this, or how to find how to
alter it, the odds're high that if there're bugs due to compilation
with no std mdk flags, they'll blame us :-(

so let advanced users alter it and newbies build safe packages if they
do build some.

this is a good reason :-) :
