one question to this

i usually compile with runtime-cpudetec combined with
explicit CFLAGS reflecting the best possible options
for all CPUs in my working and private environment

my idea for this is that GCC can especially by
"-mtune=core2 -msse4.1" optimize any binary code
while with "runtime-cpudetect" on my personal
workstation AVX can be used which is not available
currently on all machines

is my assumption completly wrong here?

--enable-runtime-cpudetect --extra-cflags='-O6 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -mmmx -msse2 -msse3 -msse4.1 -fopenmp
-mfpmath=sse -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -pipe -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fexceptions'
