Hm, what's an "architecture"? From my understanding, I'd need crossdev
if I'd try to compile for, lets say, PA-RISC on a x86 system. But that's
not what I'm trying to do - I'm trying to compile for x86 on a x86
system.

Indeed, I think that I just have mixed up -march and -mtune (aka. -mcpu).
The GCC 3.4.6 docs have it quite clear:

,----[ http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.6/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options ]
| -mcpu=cpu-type
| [...]
| While picking a specific cpu-type will schedule things appropriately
| for that particular chip, the compiler will not generate any code that
| does not run on the i386 without the -march=cpu-type option being used. 
`----

That's for -mcpu, which is, in 4.x, a deprecated synonym for -mtune.

Well, I'll just give it a try.
