Contrariwise. From the gcc manual:

`-mcpu=CPU TYPE'
Assume the defaults for the machine type CPU TYPE when scheduling
instructions. The choices for CPU TYPE are: `i386', `i486',
`i586' (`pentium'), `pentium', `i686' (`pentiumpro') and
`pentiumpro'. While picking a specific CPU TYPE will schedule
things appropriately for that particular chip, the compiler will
not generate any code that does not run on the i386 without the
`-march=CPU TYPE' option being used.

`-march=CPU TYPE'
Generate instructions for the machine type CPU TYPE. The choices
for CPU TYPE are: `i386', `i486', `pentium', and `pentiumpro'.
Specifying `-march=CPU TYPE' implies `-mcpu=CPU TYPE'.

`-m386'
`-m486'
`-mpentium'
`-mpentiumpro'
Synonyms for -mcpu=i386, -mcpu=i486, -mcpu=pentium, and
-mcpu=pentiumpro respectively.
