gcc-4.3.1 is umasked now. I'm on ~amd64 with Core 2 Duo CPU. Is it
sufficient just to set

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -pipe"

instead of

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mtune=native -pipe"

which I have in make.conf now? Are there any other things to do?

Should the two not be equivalent? On a core2 processor, should
-march=native not generate code for the core2?

I don't know - 'core2' flag is a 4.3.x invention :-)

-march=native not generate code for the core2?

I can't remember where (but it could only be in the wiki or the official
gcc docs), I read that using -march="YOURARCH" should be preferred over
-march=native.

If we are going to get picky about this, it should be noted the -march
implies -mtune, at least according to the gcc man pages, and I will
trust them to know.

I can't remember which will actually be implemented if both are
specified, but march is a essentially a stronger version of mtune which
breaks compatibility with other CPUs within the same ARCH type. (i.e.
march=pentium4 may not run on a pentium3, but should run faster than
mtune on a pentium4)
