    Use -mno-sse to prevent overzealous gcc optimizations
    
    The offending part that made coreboot crash with some toolchains
    was that gcc emits SSE instructions but coreboot did not enable SSE at
    that point.
    
    Since the gain for coreboot using SSE instructions is not measurable,
    let's not use SSE instructions rather than enabling SSE early on.
    One rationale behind this is that other parts of coreboot, like the
    SMM handler would need fixing because the XMM registers are not saved
    on SMM entry. Thus keep it simple.
