The x86 logic is actually implementing policy to the opposite effect,
ignoring the toolchain's default -march and forcing the minimum
baseline isa (i486) unless the user manually puts a specific -march in
CFLAGS. I'm doubtful that it's actually a good idea to be doing that
any more; at least it's inconsistent with how other archs are treated
(using the toolchain's default).
