Surprising. 

bootstrap-O3 tests more of the compiler than the ordinary bootstrap-O2 does. 
That has to be a good thing for any candidate patch.

Indeed it is. We all have different boxes. But adding -march=native
tests more of the compiler.

Agreed. But if a native bootstrap works for some machine,
we can be pretty sure it will work for all predecessor machines
of the same architecture.

It wouldn't be impossible to require folks to specify what their native
target was.
