Has a "pentium" optimization option (-mpentium) been incorporated into
newer versions of the gcc compiler ( > 2.6.3 ).  I have seen such an
option mentioned but have not been able to locate any online documentation
for it.

If this option does exist, what sort of performance improvement can
one expect over code compiled with the -m486 option?
