I used -march=native in this case. It is interesting that this enabled AVX
(this particular CPU does support it).
To be clear, the problem also occurs with
-m64 -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -mfpmath=sse
vs
-m64 -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -mfpmath=387
and is also observed on a 5-year old Opteron.
With GCC 4.7.1, and for a specific application benchmark case and with generic
architecture and tuning, -mfpmath=387 produces 0.133 iter/s and -mfpmath=sse
produces 0.047 iter/s. A different (non-GCC) compiler on the same system
produces 0.155 iter/s.
In the course of testing, I have indeed tried -march=corei7 and it did not
provide an improvement.
