Is "-march=atom" deprecated?

  Thanks for the idea.  I had to do it a bit differently to get it to
work.  I took a simple "Hello World" program, and ran...

gcc -xc -S -fverbose-asm -march=atom -o v1.s hello.c
gcc -xc -S -fverbose-asm -march=bonnell -o v2.s hello.c
[i660][waltdnes][~/.x] diff -s v1.s v2.s 
5c5
< # options passed:  hello.c -march=atom -auxbase-strip v1.s -fverbose-asm
---
> # options passed:  hello.c -march=bonnell -auxbase-strip v2.s -fverbose-asm

  They appear to be identical, right down to the assembler level.  But
when an option becomes "undocumented", it can be removed without notice.
I'll play it safe and go with "-march=bonnell".
