Comment (by jitter):

 It looks like this is caused by changeset 3538 (fixing the scipy ticket
 #349).

 No idea whether _is_Nocona() has intentionally been changed from P IV to
 i686 at that time, but it doesn't work for me on a Pentium 4 D (with
 x86_64 support). Additionally this breaks the fftpack/dfftpack building in
 scipy (same -march problem).

 Solutions: either revert the i686 thingy in _is_Nocona() (which would be
 my suggestion, as there isn't any i686 with 64bit support, right?) or
 apply this patch as a workaround:
