Description:
check-cpu does not take in account that:

- older GCC versions may not support certain -march / -mcpu / -mtune arguments
  as the CPU type in question simply didn't exist at the time the GCC version was
  released

- GCC 2.95 does not print its name in the --version string

- ...

How to repeat:
e.g. compile on OpenBSD or with older gcc

check-cpu didn't work in previous releases at all (as it wasn't bundled with the
source package), so this doesn't need documentation.
