I think this is what the pentium-builder package is designed to do:
Package: pentium-builder
Priority: extra
Section: devel
Installed-Size: 16
Maintainer: Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
Architecture: all
Version: 0.9
Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-all/devel/pentium-builder_0.9.deb
Size: 3482
MD5sum: c224e31a36961e4511fe7051a93e4c7a
Description: force pentium optimized compilation
Replaces gcc, cc, and g++ with scripts that build with pentium
optimizations, using egcc.
.
By default, after installing this package, the compilers will behave
normally. However, if the environment variable DEBIAN_BUILDARCH=pentium
is set, they will enter pentium optimized compile mode.
Followups to somewhere other than debian-testing, please.
