[Bug target/21852] New: Need method of changing default CPU for target

["aaronw at net dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

It would be very useful if I could configure the default target CPU to be an  
ultrasparc instead of the default since this gives a major performance boost to  
the target in many cases.  I am sure there's some way of doing this, but if so  
it isn't documented anywhere.  
  
Not only that, but it would also be useful to be able to optimize a compiler  
for a particular processor.  
  
In our case, we don't have anything below an Ultrasparc that we need to support  
and I imagine there's many other organizations in the same boat. 
 
I'm sure many people would also find it useful for other platforms, i.e. x86.
