Checkout this guys project:
http://klein.numerik.uni-kiel.de:8080/projects/cpuflags/

"CPUFlags is a small perl-script serving as a database for compiler-optimisation flags on different hardware-platforms and processors.

I simply was tired of setting up each Makefile with the right parameters and wanted to have an automatic procedure for this. The result might not be optimal, e.g. the database could grow quite large, but it works

The list of known operating systems contains Linux, Solaris and (to some degree) AIX. Various compilers are supported like GCC-2, GCC-3, Intel-CC, Sun-CC, Kai-CC, xlC etc. .

You are welcome to send options for platforms/processors which are currently not supported by CPUFlags to rok@mis.mpg.de."

i have a script from somewhere to check cpuflags:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

#This script is Linux specific
#It should work on any gcc >= 2.95 at least

#these apply to any arch (just here for reference)

rapping-math"
