-mcpu=cortex-m3 is equivalent to -march=cortex-m3 -mtune=cortex-m3

So in this instance, it will have a side effect of potentially changing the
available set of instructions.. The existing command says the only available
instructions are those defined as "armv7-m", but I want to tune the instruction
scheduler for execution on "cortex-m3".

(I'm not an ARM expert, so I'm not sure what is reasonable in this case.. but
the arguments do have slightly different meanings.)
