Maybe -mtune is a bit less confusing.

PS. By the way we are also doing incompatible changed for DJGPP. The latest 
moving definition of _environ to djgpp.djl is about to generate huge amount 
of complaints. GCC uses it's own copy with different name already for some 
time. Adding instructions into readme file to copy djgpp.djl with different 
name into GCC version specific directory is not going to work for those who 
are not reading readme files.
