I probably miss something, how does leaving out REDUNDANT flags require QA? 
even if it's not commandline, gcc still uses it all the same.
Which is why i don't understand how things require QA on that.

- -O2 -march=k8 -pipe is the same as -O2 -march=k8 -pipe -mmmx -m3dnow -msse 
-msse2 -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer and perhaps something i don't even 
think of right now
All you need to do for QA is look at what flags gcc sets for k8, and you can 
find that in the gcc source, then you take those out, and you know you lose 
or gain nothing.

What am i missing?
