I observe unsolicited warnings related to Intel compilers even though I don't specify anything like %intel on the command line.

Steps to reproduce the issue

spack solve 
==> Warning: Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors
==> Best of 1 considered solutions.
==> Optimization Criteria:
  Priority  Criterion                                            Value
  1         version weight                                           0
  2         number of non-default variants (roots)                   0
  3         multi-valued variants + preferred providers for roots    0
  4         number of non-default variants (non-roots)               0
  5         number of non-default providers (non-roots)              0
  6         count of non-root multi-valued variants                  0
  7         compiler matches + number of nodes                       0
  8         version badness                                          0
  9         non-preferred compilers                                  0
  10        target matches                                           0
  11        non-preferred targets                                    0

When I comment out line

warnings.showwarning = send_warning_to_tty

in lib/spack/spack/main.py, I get:

Finally, when I add warning_message = str(compiler_entry) + "\n" + warning_message to lib/spack/external/archspec/cpu/microarchitecture.py like so:

                 if warning_message:

                     warnings.warn(warning_message)

I see a number of very similar warnings that look like this:

/dev/shm/spack/test/lib/spack/external/archspec/cpu/microarchitecture.py:263: UserWarning: {'versions': '16.0:', 'warnings': "Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors", 'flags': '-msse3', 'name': 'bulldozer'}
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors
  warnings.warn(warning_message)

but for different "flags"
