Hi!
I sent this simple patch to lkml about two weeks ago and also cc'ed
to Linus, but seems that the patch got ignored. I decided to write to
you, because you have modified the relevant file most recently.
Below is a copy of the mail that is also available at
<http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/28/230>.

Two fixes to arch/i386/Makefile.cpu:
1) When X86_GENERIC=y is set, use -mtune=i686 if $(CC) doesn't
support -mtune=generic. GCC 4.1.2 and earlier don't support
-mtune=generic. When building a generic kernel for a distro
that runs on i586 and better, it is nice to use
-march=i586 -mtune=i686 instead of plain -march=i586.
2) Use $(call tune) instead of hardcoded -mtune when CONFIG_MCORE2=y.
This makes it possible to have CONFIG_MCORE2=y when using GCC 3.3,
which uses -mcpu instead of -mtune. Also dropped fallback to
-mtune=generic and -mtune=i686, because -march=i686 already
implies -mtune=i686.
The patch is against 2.6.20, but Makefile.cpu hasn't changed recently.
