Sigh. At least some versions of Clang (I'm looking at 7.0.1 right now)
don't quote "-march" in their resulting error message. So I guess all
we can do (without finding a different approach to the checking
altogether) is further relax the grep pattern, to

grep -e "$$pat" -e "$$opt" -e "$$arg" -

Of course this has the increasing risk of getting false positives (i.e.
false negatives for the overall check result).
