Don't use ANY CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf.
(I assume you're running in 64-bit mode since you're asking on this list
and not another).

There is no reason to specify one at all.  There is a single CPU core for
AMD64 right now, so GCC knows exactly what core you have and what to do
for it.

Only if running in 32-bit mode.
