Right, it seems gcc does not define it for -march newer than pentium4.

Not sure if this is explicit on our coding rules, but usually we
use uppercase caps for preprocessor guards.  I think it requires
a one-line description as well (same for other isa.h files).

The include guard inside the MINIMUM_ISA check seems off, why do
you need it?
