IMHO CPUTYPE should be ignored for any boot loader program, and the
lowest common denominator should be used instead (i486 for 32-bit, plain
x86_64 for 64-bit).  It makes no sense to optimize boot loaders for e.g.
core-avx2. :-)

But indeed, it appears that we need to add more -mno-foo magic flags...
