[SUGGESTION] Change x86 march flag to "pentium3"

Yes, I know they're still there although Ubuntu is now finally recommending x86-64. Only about 7 and half years late!

While I accept that a 32-bit OS remains popular, it is difficult to target those running on newer hardware. Doing so will effect performance on older hardware and is difficult to do without detrimenting one brand of CPU or another as each have integrated different instruction sets at each time. A bigger problem though is the mere fact that someone is running a 32-bit OS is more of a performance issue than the improvement they might get by building a 32-bit binary specific for their architecture. It kind of misses the point to do so.
