They are case insensitive, which is why the redundancy was removed.

Which is deprecated and scheduled for removal in the future.

The trunk version of gas only supports "-m4100" and "vr4100" (but leading
letters are dropped if no exact match happens) for "-mcpu=" (which is also
deprecated), "-march=" and "-mtune=". Additionally it supports "vr4111",
"vr4111", "vr4120", "vr4130" and "vr4181". I suggest you go for:
GCCFLAGS += -mcpu=vr4100 -mips2 -Wa,--trap
for now as other options may trigger an error depending on the version of
tools used ("-mcpu=" is passed down to gas).
I think we'll soon have to cook up a run-time gcc check for what is
accepted and use the "-march=" and "-mtune=" options preferably and
failing that, revert to legacy options like above.
