Bug ID: 83193
Summary: Help for invalid -march= options from cc1 omits
-march=native on x86-64, arm. aarch64, output also
inconsistent
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: driver
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: andrewm.roberts at sky dot com
Target Milestone: ---
-march=native no longer documented in cc1 help message and the help output is
buggy and inconsistent (missing on aarch64, given twice on arm)
ON X86-64
---------
The cc1 help message when invalid -march= values are passed omits "native" as
an option on x86-64. This is happening on at least 8.0 snapshots and 7.2
branch.

ON ARM
------
On arm native it was included in the list as of 7.x, now it is also missing,
AND THE INFO IS DISPLAYED TWICE:
