xcompile: always use -march=i686
When compiling coreboot for x86 on gcc the compiler is free to pick whatever defaults it is using at the time of gcc's compile/configuration when no -march is specified. Not properly specifying -march then opens up the use of SSE instructions for compilation units it should not be used such as the SMM module as this module doesn't save/restore SSE registers.
