To check:
dmesg | grep CPU

Two examples (first one is a i686 and second one a i586)
CPU: Intel Celeron (902.05-MHz 686-class CPU)
CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (300.68-MHz 586-class CPU)

from /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf :
# CFLAGS controls the compiler settings used when compiling C code.
# Note that optimization settings other than -O and -O2 are not recommended
# or supported for compiling the world or the kernel - please revert any
# nonstandard optimization settings to "-O" or -O2 before submitting bug
# reports without patches to the developers.
