Those switches are definately not the same! -mpentium tells the compiler to 
make pentium based optimizations (instruction timing and all that), but 
leave the code compatible with 386s and 486s. -march=pentium tells the 
compiler that it's ok to use pentium only instructions, meaning the program 
may not work on 486s at all!
