There is actually another problem with using CPUTYPE=native, as I
found out yesterday. Certain ports may fail to build with it. For
example, I was trying to build openoffice.org-2 and it was failing at
gcc-ooo with the message "cannot compute suffix of object files."
Since it was using the older compiler version, -march=native caused it
to fail. There should probably be an additional note somewhere telling
people to be careful with this setting.
