This seems more appropriate as a question to the gcc-help list requesting
clarification, not a bug report.
To answer part of it ...

You need to look at the output of 'gcc -v' to see if each GCC was built with
--with-arch, which specifies a default value for -march.
Prior to GCC 4.5, the default arch was i386 unless GCC was built with the
--with-arch switch. Since GCC 4.5 the default arch is implied by the target
machine.
