This is from the same upstream authors that decided that if you're building on i686, then you should definitely add -march=i686 to the compile flags regardless of the flags the user has already decided to use. Out of curiosity, I just looked at the Debian patches and noticed that they have heavily patched this file--you might look at what they are doing for a solution: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hdf5/hdf5_1.6.4-4.diff.gz
