Why not just change ``configure'' so that for the darwin arch and  
core2 processor it's like this (which works by the way with apple's  
modified gcc compiler):

         core2)
             gcc_cflags_cpu="-mtune=prescott -mcpu=prescott"
             gcc_cflags_arch="=-march=prescott"
             ;;
