Right, this is the normal case.  But in some sense, you could also
consider -march to have precedence here.  If it ever needs to make a
choice between generating optimized code for a p4, or code that will
run on a P-II, gcc will choose the P-II compatible code.

But the fact is that I am not sure what -march=pentium4 -mtune=i686
would generate...
