But yours must not.  GCC's -march=native uses cpuid's flags field to see if
sse4/sse4.1 is supported.

>From driver-i386.c:
  __cpuid (1, eax, ebx, ecx, edx);
...  
  has_sse4_1 = ecx & bit_SSE4_1;
  has_sse4_2 = ecx & bit_SSE4_2;
...
      const char *sse4_2 = has_sse4_2 ? " -msse4.2" : " -mno-sse4.2";
      const char *sse4_1 = has_sse4_1 ? " -msse4.1" : " -mno-sse4.1";
