that's not what you said. you said you wanted to build on a newer cpu
and execute on an older one. you really can't have it both ways: you
must pick a lowest common denominator (via the -march flag). there is
the -mtune flag to allow you to select insn scheduling and such, but
gcc won't generate incompatible code.
if you want to know more about what gcc offers with insn/isa selection,
you should ask on the gcc mailing lists:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/
this question isn't really relevant to autoconf/autotools
