-  # older compilers (for example bootstrap's GCC 5) fail with -march=too-modern-cpu
+  # The following two functions, `isGccArchSupported` and
+  # `isGccTuneSupported`, only handle those situations where a flag
+  # (`-march` or `-mtune`) is accepted by one compiler but rejected
+  # by another, and both compilers are relevant to nixpkgs.  We are
+  # not trying to maintain a complete list of all flags accepted by
+  # all versions of all compilers ever in nixpkgs.
+  #
+  # The two main cases of interest are:
+  #
+  # - One compiler is gcc and the other is clang
+  # - One compiler is pkgs.gcc and the other is bootstrap-files.gcc
+  #   -- older compilers (for example bootstrap's GCC 5) fail with
