Setting the makefile variable AUTO_OPT_GCC will give GCC a list of optimization flags suited for the machine make is run on. It does this using util/auto-opt.sh. "-march=native -mtune=native" are always outputted, which causes GCC to detect the CPU type you use and generate code for that. On Linux systems it also looks at the flags line of /proc/cpuinfo to pick x86 optimization flags.
