or
CPUTYPE=pentium4m
for a mobile chip

seems logical. however it depends on the type of pentium 4 you have. 
There is one chip with more bells and whistles (SSE3 I believe) that has 
a specific CPUTYPE associated with it you'd have to check out GCC's 
website and lookinto the -march option I know the optimized p4 has a 
different name from the general p4 variants, but its exact name escapes 
me as I only have the general run of the mill version.
