Questions about optimizing the compiler itself


Hello, I know you can pass flags to the compiler to optimize programs that 
the compiler is building.  Like -O2 and -march=athlon, etc..., etc...  
However, I have a question, how can I optimize gcc itself?  I do alot of 
compiling of large projects and I want the compiler to work as fast as 
possible.  I have an AMD Athlon but I am not sure how to pass it the flags 
for -march=athlon and -mcpu=athlon while it is bootstraping itself.  Can 
anyone help me out here?
P.S.  If anyone knows of any options that work very well with the athlon 
besides -march=athlon and -mcpu=athlon please share your knowledge.

Luke
