I think you'll probably need to check out the gcc documentation for
specific compiler questions.  The Cygwin B20.1 documentation gives
you general information on the cygwin environnment.

Check out http://gcc.gnu.org/ for documentation.

The specific answer to your question is that the gcc in B20.1 does not
contain any special optimization flags for the pentium.

I'll let Mumit mention what kind of optimization is available in
more "modern" compilers.
