No, but also we want binaries to work on Intel em64t cpus (right?). Using
-march=k8 would prevent this (by potential use of 3dnow instructions).
If you're asking for binaries for a particular CPU, this something entirely
different, and is not specific to AMD64. The same applies to i386 vs i686 vs
k7, armv4 vs armv5 vs xscale, and probably most other architectures.
