The CFLAGs used when building the kernel are set in the Makefile; # grep HOSTCFLAGS /usr/src/linux/Makefile HOSTCFLAGS = -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer To build with other flags you set CFLAGS_KERNEL, so i've added a suitable -march to the standard ones

I see all you've done is specify -march; what does the build system build for without that setting? Does your question imply that more may happen to the CFLAGs than them just being passed to gcc? I have no idea, so just assumed gcc does whatever it does when no -march is supplied, which i
