If you want more details write a tiny assembler routine that does a
CPUID instruction and decode the result. Intel has a detailed
application
note about it at

As for gcc, CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, doing some searching on google for
"-march" gcc will prove to help you in finding out what is and is not
supported by your processor. There's also a link from the Gentoo
Linux docs somewhere in the handbook, but you will have to hunt that
down on your own ;).
There's also a better (or perhaps, just more relevant) doc somewhere
on FreeBSD's site about CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS which also addresses gcc
variables and architectures I think.
