You do realise that the fc6 kernel is built with -march=generic, which
optimises for the CPUs of the day, and is likely pretty close to what -march=pentium4
is already doing?

I'll be very surprised if you find a noticable difference.

gpg crashed.  Find the core dump, run gdb on it, and file a bug
with the backtrace.
