According to the docs, this

	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.


Does that mean that gcc normally is NOT Pentium optimized?
