OK, done : http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=330813#p330813 In short : they don't mind us using our flags, but they warn us that it may prevent users from playing the game online. In particular, they advise against using march=i386 for this reason. Since we're talking about a 3D game, which would only be playable on rather powerful hardware, would it be OK to use the march=i686 flag ?
There's no need to explicitly use i686. The developer seems to understand compiler flags, sans -march.
If the developers of this game are really worried about this, you might recommend that they set some runtime checks for compile time options. When I mean checks, I mean arithmetic checks not explicit checking for compiler flags. Have a static variable, do some math with some stack variables, and compare. (right?)
