Okay, good, this is exactly where I was going when I said I was worried about 
generalization. -march seems like one of many flags I might want to pass to the 
target compilation. Moreover, it doesn't seem special in what regard.

We have -Xclang and -mllvm, etc. to pass flags through to other stages of 
compilation. Could we do something similar here? Maybe something like: 
``-Xopenmp-target:openmp-powerpc64le-ibm-linux-gnu -march=pwr7``. That's 
unfortunately long, but if there's only one target, we could omit the triple?
