      x86: prevent binutils from being "smart" and generating NOPLs for us · 28f7e66f
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      binutils, contrary to documented behaviour, will generate long NOPs (a
      P6-or-higher instruction which is broken on at least some VIA chips,
      Virtual PC/Virtual Server, and some versions of Qemu) depending on the
      -mtune= option, which is not supposed to change architectural
      behaviour.
      
      Pass an explicit override to the assembler, in case ends up passing
      the -mtune= parameter to gas (gcc 4.3.0 does not appear to.)

      Use -c instead of -S in cc-option and cc-option-yn, so we can probe
      options related to the assembler.
