From 8414d3c0b407d9afc6a2446dba3ca358da2c7bb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Durbin Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 12:44:11 -0500 Subject: 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.
