I use -march=i686 for my Duron. It works fine enough. You can always use i386 as a safe option. Duron is a low-end processor, lacking the many neat features Athlon processors have. Thus binaries utilising the features specific to Athlon processors won't work with Durons. AFAIK there's no arch target for Duron. You'll have to choose from one of the older Intel architectures: 386 and 686.
