However, AOMP did support this and if it's deemed too disruptive to request users move to `--offload-arch=a,b,c` then we can carry that change in the fork.

People have been historically using `-Xopenmp-target -march` style, and using the same for multiple architectures seems to be the most obvious choice. Isn't it quite confusing to tell the users that they can use `offload-arch` style for single as well as multiple archs, but can use `-march` style only for single arch?
`-march` was the wrong option to use for this from the beginning. It's supposed to be an overriding option and it shouldn't be overloaded to mean something different here. In LLVM / trunk we never supported multiple architectures with the `-march` option so I don't see any reason to start now. `--offload-arch=` is a complete replacement for this behavior and I consider the single `-march` option to be legacy. Even within this it's divergent because HIP / OpenCL / AMDGPU use `-mcpu` but the OpenMP toolchain ignored that and uses `-march=`.
Using `--offload-arch=` is a direct replacement for `-march` in all use-cases. It's also easier to use and interoperable with CUDA. I would just change the test, you can replace every use of `-march` with `--offload-arch` and it will work. See the following.
```console
