It actually does (or did) the -mcpu to -mtune for newer gcc versions. This
creates all kinds of havoc if you want to compile a 3.3 gcc by a 3.4 gcc
(this works when not specifying -mcpu). It is so agressive that if you do try
to reverse this in your bashrc, it gets reversed again to -mtune. As it's
only necessary for compiling \<gcc-3.3 I just let it strip out -mtune
completely.
