[cfe-dev] Behavior of -mcpu

When I pass -mcpu=<something> to clang, I get this:

clang-9: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-mcpu=<something>' [-Wunused-command-line-argume nt]

Worse, I do not get code generated for <something> but rather (I think)
for whatever the host architecture is.

Is this expected behavior?  I know I can use -mtune and -march to
control things but I expected -mcpu to behave like it does in gcc, where
it implies -mtune and -march.  I certainly did not expect it to be
completely ignored.

Thanks for any help!
