GCC target
-march=core2

Adds SSE4.1 to Core. GCC has no separate -march for Penryn: its table of processor models selects -march=core2 for it.

Why not x86-64-v2?

Penryn lacks POPCNT and SSE4.2, all of which x86-64-v2 requires.

Feature checklist

Features required by each x86-64 level and whether Penryn has them. OSFXSR and OSXSAVE are set by the operating system; the table checks the hardware features they depend on.
