When the -arch option is not explicitly specified, which architecture will GCC compile for? Can I rely on it being the machine’s native architecture?
Yes, GCC will, by default, compile to the native architecture. At least this is the ‘default’ behavior.
So, if you’re using a default install (either as part of your distro or via its package manager) you can be pretty sure GCC will “do the right thing.”
