    x86: also suppress use of MMX insns
    
    Passing -mno-sse alone is not enough: The compiler may still find
    (questionable) reasons to use MMX insns. In particular with gcc12 use
    of MOVD+PUNPCKLDQ+MOVQ was observed in an apparent attempt to auto-
    vectorize the storing of two adjacent zeroes, 32 bits each.
