IMHO, none of the gcc-specific optimization switches belong in any
templates.  If you're using gcc on a pentium, and your version
supportes -mpentium, then it should be in the SPECS file in your gcc
installation.  Admittedly, this presumes a certain clue level on the
part of the gcc installer/maintainer, but it reduces the clutter level
with templates somewhat.
