     x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse
    
    we unconditionally added -mno-sse to the main build, to keep newer
    compilers from generating SSE instructions from autovectorization.
    However, this did not extend to the special environments
    (arch/x86/boot, arch/x86/boot/compressed, and arch/x86/realmode/rm).
    Add -mno-sse to the compiler command line for these environments, and
    add -mno-mmx to all the environments as well, as we don't want a
    compiler to generate MMX code either.
    
    This patch also removes a $(cc-option) call for -m32, since we have
    long since stopped supporting compilers too old for the -m32 option,
    and in fact hardcode it in other places in the Makefiles.
