Any or all of i686, c3, and c3-2 could be correct for your chip. I can't say which one is correct. If in doubt, use i686 as that will most certainly produce sane, compatible code. One of c3 or c3-2 will likely produce more optimized code, but I have no way to know which would work for you. Study the gcc man page and what it says about it of those options, then compare that data to what you know about the CPU you have.

As someone who knows something about VIA chips, do you happen to know the core model of your chip? I am not as familiar with C7's. One other thing you'll want to remember to do is to enable the Padlock functionality in your kernel by enabling it in your kernel config, or running kldload padlock.
