Right, that is what I read from the gcc manual:

-mtune=cpu-type
    Tune to cpu-type everything applicable about the generated code,
except for the ABI and the set of available instructions. The choices
for cpu-type are:

....

And here is what the manual sais about -march

-march=cpu-type
    Generate instructions for the machine type cpu-type. The choices for
cpu-type are the same as for -mtune. Moreover, specifying
-march=cpu-type implies -mtune=cpu-type.

And this reads to me that, whatever you do in -mtune, if you specify
-march then it is automatically overwritten.

And then it does not make sense.

cheers
