Should be stable without CPUTYPE.

For the kernel just use the defaults, there is not much to optimize!
(At least for stuff i tested.)
Usually anything besides -O2 or -Os is not worth the trouble.
If you have a special app you that you want to optimize:
-fno-stack-protector you sacrifice buffer overflow protection
-fomit-frame-pointer you sacrifice debugging
-O3 will usually not yield much more if not less than -O2
and is more dangerous
-march=$arch not always is the correct arch the best
-msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse especially for some floating point weak cpus
