Subject: Re: Automatic architecture optimization

On some platforms like the x86, GCC uses the machine it was configured on (ie,
i686, i585, etc.) as the default machine to optimize for (though it only
generates instructions by default that can run on any 32-bit x86).

Is this documented in the manual anywhere? I can't seem to find it in the current manual. It seems to me it should be documented in "Intel 386 and AMD x86-64 Options" or "Optimize Options".
