Another way could be to edit the Makefile generated by configure adding the flag.

wouldn't ./configure CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686" be an option?

Yes. But if you forget to do that...

See why setting it globally makes a little more sense?

If you are compiling for different architechures, setting it each time DOES make sense, but if it is just for the one type, global lessens the chance of an 'oops. I forgot...'

And we all have forgotten...
