Now coming back to the link given, check this out:

Does that tell you anything now? Clearly, the optimisation flags are set according to the processor and the architecture used.

Quoting the article: ``Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any new optimizations for the Conroe in GCC yet. For 32-bit, I chose the Pentium M architecture as the closest match, and I added SSE2 support via a secondary compiler flag. For 64-bit, I has only one option for Intel 64-bit processors which was for a “Nocona” core.''

Hope its perfectly clear now. :)
